Does it have anything to do with the /boot partition being in a file system other than FAT and NTFS, so then the win xp wouldn't work on bootup?

Yes, many GNU/Linux GUI-programs are really just graphical shells on top of command-line programs. If you want to know more about how to use the shell: Try the Advanced BASH-scripting Guide.I got familiar with ftp, ssh, nfs, etc. It's awesome. After learning all the sweet terminal commands like cat file > text.file, it's just awesome. Plus learning the commands, makes you understand many other things. It's like linux terminal commands are the foundation for everything else.
New user friendly (or, approachable), perhaps, but I'd call the common GUI implementations rather power-user unfriendly. The Ion window manager creator wrote a little essay on the subject of usability vs approachability.Well, Xerox really deserves all the credit, cause it was the gui that made the pc user friendly.
