Only this time with Linux ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Mark Wallace <[email protected]> Date: Mon, 5 Jul 2010 10:32:05 -0400 Subject: Re: Thanks for Wine Tip To: WestHurley ComputerReCycling <[email protected]>
I keep my files on flash drives, because it's so easy to shoot yourself in the foot with Linux and I move from computer to computer. I used KIll Disk on the entire drive, several passes and then reinstalled from the CD's. What does Compaq think of Linux? They no longer have CD's for Windows XP for sale and suggest that you "try another operating system."
