  • Step 4 is in my opinion the most clever and important part… Basically if you remove your home drive and boot, you get a vanilla computer. If you put it back, you get your computer back…ie, if you fuck up your Linux or windows install you just remove your home, reinstall blind and put your home back in…like you never left!!! Plus if your drive for the os dies, you can just make another! Or you can even take your home folder with you from one Linux box to a new one in the blink of an eye…a very slow blink… Hold on, I’m still pulling the drive…open slowly… Done! See? Easy!





  • Best setup ever:

    1)install Linux on one drive.
    2)install Windows on a second drive.
    3)boot from grub on the first drive and add an entry to boot Windows.
    4)on a 3rd drive format it ext3 or optionally dos. Mount this puppy at /home or even /home/user.
    5)don’t let windows touch you Linux home drive ever. Fuck windows and Microsoft. Both can suck my entire ass. If you ever need to share files between these systems use a pen drive. Microsoft doesn’t deserve you. Just use it as a last resort, do your thing and GTFO ASAP.
