what do you guys think would be a better setup xp, vista, and ubuntu. or just xp and vista. or just ubuntu and vista? any suggestions and/or comments will be accepted. the future of my reinstall depends on you so make the right choice. :) jk

The XP/Vista choice in part depends on your hardware specs. What CPU, Graphics Card and RAM do you have?

I think that my specs should be good enough to run vista

Yep, it should be. I say install Vista for sure. I'm not sure about XP or Ubuntu. It depends on what you want to do and what you need. If you want to play around with a Linux system install Ubuntu. If you need XP to run older programs or something install it.
