NYLUG looks like a well organized site. They have a mailing list and IRC channel. Should be a great place to start for those off topic questions you have. Sounds like you have a busy life with wife + kids, and it may be you'll never get to go to an actual meeting with your LUG, but you can still join and make use of its mailing list and chat.

<div>Yea, i'll take a look at it. Thing with NY, 80% of the time, everything like that is based out of NYC. But mailing list/chat is probably better for me anyways, so thanks for the link and info.</div><br>

<div text="#000000" bgcolor="#ffffff">You'll get a flood of "this distro is best" responses where ever you go. You'll just have a make a choice, chances are your the distro that you get successfully installed first will be your distro of choice from now on. Back when I started I had several failed attempts at installing various distros never getting anything to really boot. Finally I got Slackware installed on the first try and I used it for the next 5 or 6 years. Now a days I use Fedora but mainly because I have a linux job and we are straight Redhat at work, so it eventually came home with me.

<div text="#000000" bgcolor="#ffffff">If you play WoW as little as you say then dual boot is probably easiest. Getting things running with Wine will take time away from your game enjoyment. Easier to do a quick reboot once the kids are in bed, then reboot when you done, turn off the monitor and go to bed. When everyone wakes up the computer will be sitting in linux.
