Your best bet is comp.os.linux.setup, this is an advocacy
group where Windows advocates come to throw stones. When I
setup dual boot system, I scrub the drive first. It is just
easier that way. Windows needs periodic re-installation
anyways just to keep it running.

Good point. Because I then have to graphically display the results in
various charts, plots, etc. So I looked into graphics, which led to
windowing environments, thus to X, Qt, GTK+, and other confusions...

Wrong. The souther states insisted that slaves be counted in the census
for determining representation in Congress.
A comprimise was reached, where all non-voting individuals
(children, women, slaves, and non-land-owners) would be counted
as 3/5 of a person.

Those are Egypt-pyramid 0.x systems.
the "bent Pyramid" is the 0.99 version...they got the slope right mid-build.
Conversely, extremely steep-sided pyramids from anothr vendor in Nubia
are still up.
How steep? Base of about 10 feet, hight of 60 - 100 feet.

Actually, version 6 Unix would be the most recent ancestor of all these
varieties.
Unix was the ONLY progeny of Multics which could be considered successful
Trivia: There was a multic system running at the GM's Livonia (Michigan)
Engine plant as late as 1985.

ICQ # 3056642
H: "Having found not one single carbon monoxide leak on the entire
premises, it is my belief, and Willard concurs, that the reason
you folks feel listless and disoriented is simply because
you are lazy, stupid people"
I: Loren Petrich's 2-week stubborn refusal to respond to the
challenge to describe even one philosophical difference
between himself and the communists demonstrates that, in fact,
Loren Petrich is a COMMUNIST ***hole
J: Other knee_jerk reactionaries: billh, david casey, redc1c4,
The retarded sisters: Raunchy (rauni) and Anencephielle (Enielle),
also known as old hags who've hit the wall....
A: The wise man is mocked by fools.
B: Jet Silverman plays the fool and spews out nonsense as a
method of sidetracking discussions which are headed in a
direction that she doesn't like.
C: Jet Silverman claims to have killfiled me.
D: Jet Silverman now follows me from newgroup to newsgroup
...despite (C) above.
E: Jet is not worthy of the time to compose a response until
her behavior improves.
F: Unit_4's "Kook hunt" reminds me of "Jimmy Baker's" harangues against
adultery while concurrently committing adultery with Tammy Hahn.
G: Knackos...you're a retard.
