Hi, Ram. Please trim your replies.

I don't know anything about 64bit Linux, but if you are going to mess with 
Vista, the very first thing you need is a known good backup so you can get 
back to it after it blows up. And I expect that Microsoft has done things to 
Vista to make it NOT play nice with Linux.

Expect the worst.
