"Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty Fawn) arrived just a few days ago with promises of better hardware compatibility, included proprietary software and drivers, and more user friendliness. Was it wort the wait? And more importantly - Is it finally time to "Make the Switch"?" Read the review here. Elsewhere, "First thoughts on Ubuntu 7.04 Feisty Fawn" was published at ZDNet.

just an fyi... but you can plug both drives in and still have it work without a boot-manager (assuming it is not a laptop... but even then, as long as it has a dual-drive you are cool)...
Your bios should have some key that loads up the boot menu... esc (if not set to bios), F10, or F12 seem to be the most common....
When it comes up, select "hard drive" from the list, and it will show you the installed drives and ask you to choose one.
Not all bios' work that way, mind you, but all 7 of my PCs do... so even if you can't use that, someone else probably can (not that it's odd, just not something people tend to think about)
