Experimenting with Linux Mint once again. The first attempt at installing it made my computer fail to boot at all, oops. Luckily I was able to reformat that partition and just reuse the bootup disc I'd downloaded and it took on the second try. The last time I installed this it was Linux Mint 4.0, aka Daryna, but now they're already at 6.0, aka Felicia. This version seems to run smoother with my new graphics card, which is good, as that was the main reason I gave up on Daryna. I left my laptop at work but I'll be installing Mint on that for the dual boot option too; maybe it'll make the ol' laptop easier to use, as Vista is such a pain.

Alright, time to reboot this machine back into Windows, here's hoping that still works. There's no reason why it shouldn't, as Linux is on the other HD, but who knows. Here's hoping it works fine! :)

Linux is the OS, right? *stupids* I think that's the one my programmer friend prefers because of his raging hate-on for MS.

Yes ma'am, it is. :) I used it a lot back in my Computer Science days, as all our programming and such was Linux/Unix based, but I haven't used it much since then. There's a bajillion different distributions but I like this Mint one a buddy of mine recommended awhile back.
