Why I installed debian over my copy of vista rc2
I was bored. Terribly bored. Bored of Five years of the same <bleep> desktop. The blue and the green and the supposed eye candy. I had kubuntu installed on another partition and was excited but I did something stupid and destroyed it.
The installation was more or less straightforward except for the partitioning, which was absolutely terrible. Despite the eye candy, I had difficulty finding the disk/partition options to allow me to format it, which didn’t give me any warning about the data that’s being erased. It didn’t make it clear which hard drive and label of the partition that’s being erased. But five years of installing various operating systems(9 linux distros, win-all and macosx) allowed me to figure out what’s to be done, but… unfortunately might not be for most other people. Now that it was done, before I knew it, installation began. No double triple warning like xp installation. That kindof pissed me off. and it told me the minimum size for a hard drive is 15gb. I had to format my nearby swap partition to just reach 15 gb and let it install.
