I used to have removable harddisk caddies... I had a permanent harddisk setup as secondary master... That had fat32 and ext2 partitions on it.. then I had two harddrives in the cadies.. one for winblows and one for linux... that way, I could console myself to the fact that there was no windows on my PC, until I wanted it... a hard drive caddie costs about 25 bucks AU, (half that for USD) for a good one... no need for dual boot or anything,, alot less hassle... since hard drives are cheap, if you have an old 2 gig hdd or something similiar, you can put windoze on that and just plug it in when you wanna play games or whatever... nice and neat... rgds Frank -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Matt Greer Sent: Friday, 7 September 2001 10:23 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [newbie] OT: Win XP hacked already on 9/7/01 8:51 AM, Tom Brinkman at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Well, I've already seen several replies to this, so you can see > each individuals needs vary quite a bit. For me many graphic design programs don't exist on Linux or aren't on par with their Windows/Mac counterparts. I primarily use Linux for testing my site's php, xml, etc locally. But I still need to revert to Windows when it comes to the design end of my site. > Another argument to make is why throw away something you already got > stuck for? Most computers come with Windows on CD. You can always reinstall if necessary. I don't prefer dual booting if possible. I'd prefer to go entirely one OS or the vmware/winforlin route.
