Thinking about switching to Linux?

Well the time has come… I use the computer fairly often… surfing the web.. listening to music… I’m not much of a gamer.. however i know there is enough gaming between open source linux compatible games and my good old xbox to keep my occupied… heres where I need some help.

The only thing I care about on my xp is my music… I have about thirty gb… also… if I’m going to switch .. I think I want to go all the way.. I like the dual boot concept.. except my hardrive space is precious.. and Im afraid I would run out if I dual boot… will I have any regrets? Xubuntu or ubuntu? I’m a new user but pretty tech savy.. thanks

How do i connect to xbox live through linux mint os?
I had windows vista and it worked perfectly on that, i decided to change my os to linux and im having trouble connecting to live, i have a Ethernet cable connected to the pc from my 360, the pc has built-in wifi which is connected to a router. how do i set up linux to allow a connection from the 360.

So i was reading news today and came across a ps3 which was turned into a linux OS computer (pretty sweet i know) did some google searching and found a method for an xbox (not 360) for the same idea so since i don’t own a ps3 nor a xbox i was wondering if this method or a similar one is possible for a Xbox 360 links and info would be awsome thank you
