Total Restart of my System

[Ravernomina]

I love both very dearly and this has been my dream a long time a fully Anti-Microsoft computer :P.

I am now backing up and getting ready to full reinstall my whole system for a multi-boot of this

Explain? I have no multiboot, I am 100% Linux and my computer isn't crap.

Just nonsense from a Mac user who thinks Apple stands for freedom and choice, when really they are as bad, if not worse, than MS. ;)

I would stick the swaps at the end. Slowest part of the drive. Minor point.

That also means as main OS if im saying not having a multi-boot WITH LINUX means the computer is crap duh thats means no linux the computer is crap

I've got a similar set up. Should be good. I recommend installing rEFIt for your boot selecting needs.

I love how you guys turned that around, and made it sound like he was bashing linux, when in fact he was doing the opposite.

I triple boot without refit, so it can be done. But refit does certainly make things easier for you.

Mine runs very well too. I have a high end SSD HD in my mac mini, and kubuntu 9.10 boots up so fast you wouldn't belive it unless you saw it. Good stuff.
