The Advantages and Disadvantages of Dual Booting Windows and Linux?

[Lord Kalthorn]

Has anybody else noticed suddenly that we are all on a distinguished road? Is it possible to change this to something less pants! What does it mean anyway? And why is it there?

 

[DevilHack]

The newer versions should be better, yes, but sometimes they overflow it with too much and fuck it up. So I strongly suggest Mandrake for your first Linux if you decide to give it a shot.

 

[Lord Kalthorn]

You know what? I think I shall trust you on this one! I have looked and have seen Mandrake 9.2 i586 (looking aside from the obvious connections to Macintosh) and will download it - it should be done in three days give or take. All the CDs.

I think this will be worth it - at least to save face and have an actual idea of what its like and be able to back my points up more fairly!

Just wondering, Office will work on this? I just saw Lotus and I thought euw! euw!

 

[DevilHack]

Office comes with it.

 

[Lord Kalthorn]

I meant the proper Office, Microsoft Office, not some kind of Open-Source version. I can realise the uses of Linux - but to Microsoft Office there are no equals or indeed good runners up! Office in no uncertain terms rules.

 

[DevilHack]

Well actually I have had Microsoft Office and I used my Office and their the same..

 

[Lord Kalthorn]

Open-Office look like Microsoft Office! This I shall have to see!

Office 2000 I'd imagine? Either way I will install my Office!

 

[DevilHack]

Go right ahead and try..

 

[Lord Kalthorn]

I shall - in only now 2 days! Downloaded 1st CD, now on to the 2nd CD - tommorow the 3rd shall come, and on Thursday I'll install
