Um? Sorry, but I didn't understand. What packages?
For Python and for pyGtk. You need those to run my editor. The editor doesn't directly use the OS, but only those programs, and since these are available for Windows, my editor should work on it.
Wll, since computer is not just for my use, dual boot system seems best idea.
Really, if you haven't seen it before, and don't know if you like it, a live system is the best idea. You can boot it, use it and see if it's something for you. If it isn't, you reformat the usb stick or throw away the cd and nothing has changed. Setting up dual boot is quite some work, and you can easily wipe out your current Windows install if you're not careful. Don't do it unless you know it's a good idea.
Ever played age of empires 1 or 2?
Ah, that's another thing you need to know, and it may be a reason you want to keep Windows: non-free programs (that's anything you need to pay for, and for Windows also quite some things that don't cost money) only work on one system. If the makers of the program don't ship a version for Linux, it doesn't work on it. I don't think there is a Linux version for those games.
Also, I like software for which I have the source code. So even if it costs no money (like flash player), I still don't want to use it if I'm not allowed to change it.
So to answer your question: no, I haven't.
