Why? I use one big drive for audio and video stuff, another for general 
backups, and want yet another to put the Linuxes on. The separate one for Linux 
is for convenience if I want to remove all of it easily. Am I not seeing 
something?

And I'm enough pissed off at Windows7 right now that I'm seriously thinking of 
getting rid of it and sticking with some version of Linux.

That's kind of what I thought.

I'd like to try out Debian, Ubuntu and Linux Mint as a start, and perhaps 
others as I gain experience. Does it matter which of these I end up with for 
LFS purposes? Is one more friendly to LFS than others?
