Reviving an older thread here with an update.
I have had Ubuntu on the 2nd Hard Drive for a few months now.
Only issues i have had are getting Wine to run some of the windows based games. I just need to put some time into them and work them out.
Lately i have been playing with SLAX - really cool USB bootable system - does not use the hard drive at all. I can take my entire PC on a 2 GB Flash drive. This includes the Office programs - some games - and 800MB of my ripped music.
Our Office Laptops are pretty "secure" with encription and VPN. but with the USB Flash boot - i get "My" computer instead of the work computer.
Still playing with it - but so far it is pretty neat.
