Cool, but in the event that you have a visiting windows laptop/guest,
keep the http://www.fs-driver.org/ link handy. I also am basically 100%
linux, but I also troubleshoot others windows systems, so I have 2 other
Windows drives that I can dual boot into.
As for FOSS... you are not 100% FOSS if you are running standard Ubuntu.
If you really want to do that, then you can install gobuntu:
