Removed the redmond7 virus

Actually I wanted to just re-partition the harddisk and add some Linux distros.
Guess I underestimated how much space that redmond7 virus was gobbling up..

From all the distros I tried  (grml, debian, ubuntu),
ubunto detected the sound, the radeon graphics, and the WiFi, the touchpad..
Made 12 partitions, left 100MB for the redmond virus so I can keep it
for biological warfare, installed ubuntu in the first free one,
and it boots within 20 seconds.

Gave every partition 100 GB...
So there will be
ubuntu
grml
debian
slackware
and some versions of those.
I forgot to mention that not even my vodafone huawei USB stick worked in the redmond7 virus,
neither did wifi.

Now to the essence of it:
I think it is no less than a disgrace how that crap microsoft windows 7
makes something very simple to a burden for humanity.
That nasty virus has now infected a large part of personal computing.
Written for idiots by idiots is an understatement (*).
I guess if you want to sell the same thing over and over again you must make things
look complicated.
In my view they are busy doing a con job, I would close them down.

There are no words to describe how bad that piece of win7 virus shit has become.

My compliments to Ubuntu, it is not my favourite desktop, and they do have a
bit the tendency to imitate microvirus, but it works,
and I even smiled while it was installing to a fresh reiserfs and mentioned
installing grub in /dev/sda.
Computing is fun again, it is not if your system is held hostage by redmond viruses.
There is plenty of market opportunity to wipe Balmer & co from the planet,
Jobs must have seen that.
Russia has or is moving to Linux, the number of Linux
installations has been gradually on the rise in the last year.

Note:
Microvirus shareholders have called Ballmer's club a "Charly Brown' management.
Now I sometimes read those strips, and Charly is OK,
although I cannot always identify with him, more with that dog.
So that would be insulting Charly B.
The Balmer management seems to start from the idea that
people are totally stupid, and need to be isolated from what is really happening,
and little wizards have to fix it'.
Too bad that the msvirus7 creating script kiddies without apparently any real
programming experience apart from clicking on pictures do not seem
to have enough of a clue to actually WRITE a working wizard, they write nonsense.
What takes 2 lines of text in Linux to setup a network, and all a person needs to know is their local IP address,
becomes a time consuming irritating click and cry adventure.
People are not that stupid, do not approach them that way.
Give some basic info, and they will do fine.
The incredible loss of productive time that piece of winvirus7 shit causes
think all those virus infected systems multiplied by the number of hours
people have to wait for it and re-installing it, the outrageous waste of
global bandwidth by 'updates' the incredible irritation,
and then why not nuke Redmond.
Why not?
With that much less power misused by all the hopelessly overpowered
virus7 machines, getting rid of the virus7 would reduce global warming too if you
believed in that.
But even if you did not believe in g. warming it would make computing so much more fun.
And Ballmer locked up for crimes against humanity, how about Cuba
and some OK <censored
OK maybe he is mentally no accountable.
The software that originates from his club sure testifies to that.

OK: i will byte..TWELVE partitions??

Huh. I like Ubuntu myself. Version 10, not version 11 (the new
desktop is just weird). Only bad thing on Ubuntu is, the volume
control is linear, not properly logarithmic. Takes some getting used
to, but it's not a deal-breaker. Debian had some weird bugs: after
the third hibernate, it would crash, and Flash video wouldn't work in
fullscreen. Fedora (I forget which version) would only run gedit and
Flash video from root (?!), and clamscan wouldn't work. (I still use
my XP partition for my tax preparation software.)

You know, you could save some money by buying a used computer system.
I paid about $80 for my Pentium 4 system (which had XP), and it
screams on Ubuntu. (Not having a Microsoft antivirus program in the
background helps some too, I bet.) The most challenging thing I ask
it to do is use mencoder to re-process .mp4 videos (from my camera)
to .mp2 for burning to DVD. Oh, and there seems to be some sort of
bug in dvdauthor that makes it fail on Linux Mint (so I had to copy
the files to my wife's laptop running Ubuntu, run dvdauthor there,
then copy back to my Mint system for burning the DVD). I'm removing
Mint and installing Ubuntu 10.

So you make an extended partition (4 here), and add new partitions in that space.
Will probably change that partition ID to 82 (Linux swap) for 1 and 2 later.

The original 1982 standard allowed 4 partitions, each being primary or
extended, and any number of logical drives within extended partitions, of
which the OS of the time could use 24 since A and B were floppy drives.

OS/2 and Linux long had the ability to boot from a logical drive as the OS
drive. Microsoft OS's were limited to booting from primary partitions,
where there can be only one drive on the partition, but, as usual, got the
ability to boot from logical drives about 10 years after the others.

Boot managers can allow more than 4 primary partitions, by modifying the
partition table according to the choice made at startup. I don't think
modern boot managers have that ability any more since all the popular OS's
can now use logical drives.

Talking about boot managers, I had a near disaster here with this.
My Slackware DVD arrived fromwww.linuxcd.org, seems to be in France,
so fast, just 2 days to here?

Anyways I installed it on partition 11, with swap on 10.
I did not install Volkerding's 'Lilo', as I already
have grub, so I booted into grub.
Now it was late at night, and actually I wanted to sleep.
Volkerding made a link in /boot/vmlinuz -> vmlinux-huge-2.6.37.6 kernel.
difficult to remember, so I did to just type
linux /boot/vmlinuz in grub, thinking "Not 100% sure grub likes links..."
Typed 'boot', and the disaster happened.
Keyboard started flashing, nothing worked, not even the power button,

Then removed that ms sticker...
It was very hard to get that off, had to use turpentine.

Why not just download it and burn the .iso to CD?

Try some biodiesel next time! It dissolves all sorts of stuff. XD
