Late night pondering p.2

I am currently reading a book on linux and learning the whole system as well as C++ to augment my understanding of IDL (interactive data language) which is C++ derived. Well for starters, IDL is an abysmally unfriendly language to be thrown headfirst into and I must say that I am rather irked by it still even after using it for almost 3years now. But linux itself is quite a nice system. However, I am forced to have to run it through WUBI since windows has seen it fit to make it damn near impossible to correctly partition my harddrive so that I can install linux correctly as a permanent dual boot operating system. Ce la vie.
