Re: Multi Booting

Well... giant Rubber fist Penis aside, I have Win7 and Ubuntu working fine so far, next comes Mac OS...but I have to wait later today for that, picking up the disk from a friend of mine. (he has two copies for some reason)

od thing is, I can only get a max of 24bit color depth *shrugs* have not looked into it yet though, will later when I have time.


I have a Tablet PC that has Win7 on it, so once I get Mac OS on this system, I can start fiddling with it all, and Ubuntu is also on a USB flash drive, so if I ahve to, my Tablet can be booted into it as well for linux/mac shenanigans. ;p

A big rubber penis the length of a male arm.

And girth. Don't forget the girth.

Now you're beginning to understand why most people switching to linux choose Ubuntu.

That's the name of the product.

One of this forum's regulars showed it to me some years ago. Apparently he was working in an adult toy shop at the time.

I like how the image's file name contains the word "thor."

Slackware - Definition

To continue the above metaphor:

Ubuntu is to lubed as Slackware is to <Um...no Feba...just no - TGM>

Slackware - Definition

And when you think you know it, install a BSD and get all the Linuxisms out of your head.

Of course professionally, you'll be more running into RHEL, of which CentOS is a free reroll of, or Debian if it was done on the cheap. Either way, if you can get it done in Slackware, its just easier from there.

Re: Multi Booting

Oh, and Ubuntu is going to teach you dick all. It is designed to hid the OS from the user.

Your mileage may vary. It certainly does try to hide it, but any OS is going to have the occasional rough edge that needs working out. Ubuntu may as well be called Linux With Lube. It'll go down easier, but if you're opposed to the general concept you're probably still not going to have a good time.

Re: Multi Booting

If you're looking on just getting a daily understanding of OSX and Ubuntu, can I make a recommendation?

(this completely ignoring how you're going to get OSX to run on your PC, which I assume is not a Mac; it's been done, it's a bit of a pain last I checked, which was a long time ago admittedly)

Instead of having three partitions, have four. Windows, OSX, and Ubuntu, plus a fourth "Storage" partition. Use the storage partition to store your videos, music, pictures, documents, etc. Then you don't have to worry about losing them if you fuck up one installation, and you can easily access it from all of your different OS.

You can also do something similar if you decide to screw around with multiple linux distros: have a partition for each install, plus a partition for /home/ (I've heard of people having different partitions for other directories too, but not sure on the details of how that works). loading up the same /home/ on each distro will keep your basic user settings the same, so you don't have to constantly mess with your preferences in firefox and so on. Plus the same file storage benefit as the above.

ah yeah I do that already, I just did not list them ;p

I have 4 HDDs in my system

my main OS HDD, Media HDD, and my ISO backup HDD, then this 4th one that will have Ubu/Mac on it.

Oh, and Ubuntu is going to teach you dick all. It is designed to hid the OS from the user.

I might have to install another version of Linux then, so I can learn more about Linux then what Ubu will teach me.
