The dual boot setup is now complete. Though I have yet to go back and pick up drivers for the Win7 install, everything is working.
I'm typing this from Ubuntu - the install process was as smooth as I figured it would be. The only driver I needed was the proprietary driver for the video card. Everything else, including wireless, worked right away.
Once updates were installed and drivers sorted, I went to Ninite (http://www.ninite.com/linux) to pick up installs of things like Chrome, Flash, GIMP, and a couple other things.
Following that I dumped OpenOffice and went with LibreOffice (as shown here: http://drupal.txwikinger.me.uk/content/libreoffice-now-available-ppa-ubuntu-1010-and-1004 ) because of native support for Office 2007 files.
From here - putting backed up files back onto the machine, and then getting into game installs.
