Yeah WinXP mainly just for the games, but it's always nice to remind yourself every now and then why I primarily use linux

I Triple-Boot: DOS / WinNT / SuSE 8.1, so multiple boot it is.

My wife needs DOS for her work and WinNT for home-banking.

I want us to migrate us to Linux.

I used to run the NT boot-loader but GRUB mangled the MBR of C:\ but since it can start WinNT I left the current state...

I have a dedicated RH 8.0 desktop AMD K2-450/256M.
It has been running linux full time since 99 it runs open office
and has all the gain/licq/amsn but I miss the quicktime offerings.

I also have a toshiba 2435 laptop that dual boots winXP and
SLackware 8.0. It replaced the Sony Viao FX250 that fried it's
motherboard. I have to have winXP to support the adobe
production bundle I use for video work. Photoshop/After Effect/
Premiere. If anyone knows any Open Source alternatives to
these products. I would love to know.

you already are 'with us' if you have any shread of linux installed and acutally use it
welcome aboard

I have only one computer, but am proud to say it is completely clean of Windows. I got so sick of it.

ps. Hi everyone. This is my first post.

I wish there would have been a third option "I only boot into windows for games".

I boot into linux about 95% of the time. The only time I boot into windows would be for games that aren't available in linux.

Other than the games I have everything I need in linux.

I currently run just Mandrake 9.1, but I am thinking of putting Windows back on, there's a couple of things that I can do better in Windows (such as gaming, CD burning, and file sharing (no decent p2p clients for linux, and I can't get kazaa lite working with wine))

I've got a dual boot setup with Win98SE and Mandrake 9.0, although I haven't booted back into Windows for about 2 months now.

I used Windows a few times to get the IPCop 1.2 updates list (neither it nor the other box mentioned below could grab it), but since v1.3 that appears to be fixed

I cheat a bit - separate Win98SE box for gaming. I frankly can't be arsed trying linux on it again - it uses Intel's 845 chipset, and there were/are issues with it (google for 845 and DMA). I've recently done a BIOS update on it as well.

Yeah well I still have a WindowsXP partition laying around here. I'm sending out resumes like crazy so its not very easy to write a nice cover letter and build myself up and then end it with:

I have enclosed my resume in an Open Office format.

Yet another reason why M$ is holding me down.

In office Linux and win2k. At home I am i had Redhat and 98 but when i installed XP i lost my linux. I reinstalled my Linux and this resulted in the loss of XP.. still playing with my system lets see where it ends

I have 2 machines. 1. Im dual booting Red Hat 9 and Win XP, my brother uses windows, and i sometimes boot to windows when i'm playing games.... 2. I'm running Mandrake 9.1 on the other machine...

most of the time i boot to linux though.... since i use red hat more than mandrake.....

I have a daul boot- suse 8.2 and win2k on seperate hard disks
I would like to use debian as well on my linux disk what should i do
