Yeah, the only way to go ! ;-)
I have had Linux as the main OS and kept Win XP "just in case".
After 7 years, retrospectively, I found I never really had to start
XP ! So it's doable ;-)

Installing it takes 15 minutes door to door, no drivers to install, and
the AVR tool-chain will take only a few clicks in the package manager
to install it. As for dual-booting, during the installation, Linux will
automatically detect Windows. When you start the computer you will get a
menu offering to start either WinXP or Linux.
Well I am using Ubuntu and it just works, but I assume the other two
mainstream distro (RedHat & Suse) are equally practical.
Go for it Graham ;-)
