*mallik.v.arjun* >>Infact, Upgrades have lot of cons than pros mainly waste of time. (Purely my opinion) Yes, If you upgrade to Bleeding edge/Testing repos. I dont. I upgrade to stable apps only.
>>I dont have any experience in Arch, I would appreciate to know your experience with Arch till now. Certainly Will, When I do install Arch. >>Install XP first --> No grub >>Install Arch next --> since it has a rolling release so no change to grub >>Install Ubuntu next --> Actually Ubuntu detects more OS's on HDD than any >>other which I have tried. So I suggest Ubuntu to be last in the list... As mentioned in my OP, WinXP will not be installed. It will be a Arch + Ubuntu Dual boot. *csshyamsundar* >Arch, Gentoo are distributions which are suitable for people who like to be bleeding edge.

The CON's are - If something >breaks, you'd be spending time fixing it and you would not have much of support like Debian/Ubuntu. Gentoo is superior when it >comes to performance. IMHO years of experience does matter to an extent, and since I dont know what you did these 5 years, I >cant comment much. >My opinion, if you want performance, bleeding edge stuff, install Gentoo/Funtoo/Arch. If you want stability, install Debian/Mint ( >an ubuntu variant, but more stable ). Gentoo, I have no Exp at all. And I am not a IT/Tech guy. Just a bit Interested in computers to the extent that i can get my things done and understand how things inside work. Actually got sick of Viruses and crashes in WinXP, so moved to Linux. >IMHO - If you are not playing games in XP., install linux alone and then install Virtual Box or VMWare player and then install XP >inside that. No, WinXP will NOT be installed at all. Regards Narendra Diwate
