Heh... (Not keeping to the chat, I got bored after reading two page posts)

When ever I finish building my new computer, I would like a dual boot WinXP and Linux.... So I can code both Windows and Linux apps....

(A tri boot, if posible, then have Win, Linux, and Mac... Muhahahaha! j/k... ^_^ )

Yeah, I dual boot XP Professional and SuSE 9 Personal. I'm not happy with SuSE, though. I think I will try Ubuntu; everyone seems to be crazy over it.

Read my last post on the third page...Oh and in order for that triboot system to work, you would need both a Pentium IV(or athalon, xeon, etc.) and an G4 processor. OS X is not meant for an intel processor...

Heh, you're so dead wrong, it's not even funny. You can dual-boot or even trio-boot operating systems on an 8088 if you've got a hard drive large enough to hold the OSes, the CPU has zilch to do with it. Also, OS X will soon run on Intel processors, since Macintosh has decided to forsake Motorolla processors in favor of Intel processors. :lol:

quite a few, but I suggest two OSes, partition the disk in half so at least you have a decent amount of space in each...

You could fit each distro of Linux, plus every version of MS-DOS, PC-DOS, DR-DOS, and FreeDOS, plus all versions of Windows 1 thru 3, and then Windows 95, 98, ME, NT3, NT4, Windows 2000, Windows XP, OS/2, and if you feel like it, maybe even a copy of V2_OS.

OR...

One copy of Windows Vista.

How much space would that leave for each partition?
Oh yeah, and I forgot about the Apple-Intel movement...

I was thinking about the fact that windows and OS X were on different processor lines so you would need the ATI G4... But then you reminded me of the apple- intel movement... I screwed up...

bootdvd's... what's next? Windows pre-installed on a 1 TeraByte harddrive?

Anything to get an inferior OS that will keep money in Gate's pocket.
