Here is another Linux question.
I have 4 HDD's, one is used as for the distro (currently Ubuntu), 2 are SATA and set-up as a stripping RAID, and then there is another that hold my installed games, music, videos, programs, and the such.
I have been using linux more and more lately, and I am seriously considering moving to Linux as my main OS
My question to all of you:
Would it be practicle to move my 160Gbs of data from NTFS to a linux file system (dont worry about which type, that is for later discussion)
On my RAID I only have 20GBs allocated as the Windows installation, the rest is not partitioned, so I would be able to move all my data from NTFS to a linux filesystem on that, and them transfer them back to their original locations on the other drive once a linux file system is on that.
Here is my main reasons for doing this a) I am using ubuntu more and more, b) I am really starting to like the major change of pace from windows and finally c) the most important reason is that I have a 64-bit proc. and no 64-bit OS (and I will not be moving to vista any time soon)
