some people in michigan had a banner on their site: "Friends don't let friends use Windows... get linux" and later after i got back from a bad trip, my buddy wants to experiment with linux on his new P3 1.1, so I get RedHat 7.2 cd's & Partition Magic fullversion. carve the drive apart, install redhat, have fun, discover LQ, try Mandrake 8.2, get tired... the dell P3 is a testbed. then buy extra parts for an extra comp, then the dell becomes a router/server/firewall project, which goes thru mandrake 8.2, redhat 7.3, failed to get gentoo or suse, then ended up on slack. just moved off the dell, thinking about MOSIX... it's been a blast...
hey! I can hand out email accounts like they're business cards, that NEVER happened in windows! i'd have wound up as a braincase full of tapioca pudding if i learned how to do this stuff in winxp first <shudder>
p.s. i don't recommend partition magic, or [borrowing] it like i regretfully had to back then... every time it saw the ext2 partition, it said "unsupported type" and crashed, that's after it claims to support the stupid fs, and all I wanted to do was delete the partition. magic? naahhhh get diskdrake or something else with a clue
