Linux Flexability

Hard drive died on the lappy the other day. Thought about picking one up at the local stores but ended up getting a new one on ebay for 1/3 of the price. Hmm...what to do for 12 days waiting for it....

Loaded the o/s using unebootin on a jump drive and booted to the desktop. Hit the install button and loaded the o/s on another jump drive plugged in the other usb port and volia...I'm up and running!

Windows would never let you do that...It likes to wrap itself around the hardware..portable...no

love my linux

:) I have run directly off the CD a few times, not to mention throwing in another hard drive from a different laptop-- Linux usually doesn't balk when a different motherboard is thrown at it, either.

I've done things like that before. Linux never seize to amaze me.
