the single most valuable thing about Linux to me is the simplicity of
backing up the system -- I don't have to create a disk image or contort
myself in order to back up a registry -- I can use Remastersys to put
everything on a flash drive in case my system blows up, stick a new HD in,
partition it, press a few keys, and in half an hour again everything will
be just fine.
Ahhh, I dream of that.
as a consequence, I can keep the important things here, and use the XP box
for toys
Hey, Free Cell is NOT a toy! It's a necessity of procrastination.
(I just installed Win7 as a virtual machine on my Mac, and they went and
changed Free Cell--not for the better either.)
