here is a related question: If I wanted to dual-boot, could I make a partition with data files (music, videos, pics) that both OSs could access?

Love it. I'm not going back to Windows as a primary OS for a long time, if ever.
I think Brad is still on Ubuntu too.

Yes. Just make it NTFS. Windows cannot read ext3, Linux's format. If you have stuff not needed on both, do it as ext3. It reads and writes better for Linux, and you never have to defragment.
