Re: Was OT--Win7 and disk partitions; now using Linux

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.)
