Re: How to partition a Fujitsu lifebook harddrive?
Well, I can't do it justice BB, I'm new to the whole Linux thing and have a lot to learn about it. But here are some things that really impress me about knoppix, which is a Linux variant I guess.<br /> <br />It runs completely off the cd, no need to install.<br /><br /> It has many more configuration options than windows, which is good for people who like to tweak their computers. If you ever find yourself saying "man that sucks, why can't I .......", or, "geez, whats it doing now?" or " I didn't tell it to do that!" then you need Linux. <br /><br /> Also, you can have multiple desktops, you can sign on as a user with no administration rights, and if you need administration rights you will be asked for the password. No logging off and logging back on as administrator. You can then give up your admin rights after using it for a particular purpose or retain them for the rest of the sesion.<br /><br /> The disk partitioning tool is excelent, you can make existing partitions smaller without losing any data.<br /><br /> This is only touching the surface, I don't know much about it. If you are interested Boatbuoy, there is a big learning curve. I'm having dificulties understanding how to use the various configuration tools. Right now my sound card works in knoppix, but not fedora core 4. I can't get the wireless card to work in either. I'll have to do some research on the net to get those going.<br /><br /> The best thing about it is, it's free! If you're building your own computer that helps a lot, because windows is expensive.
