dual-boot

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Toronto, 2005.06.11

Once again I have a dual boot PC at home. I've now had (from memory) Slackware (twice), MS-DOS (versions 3 -> 6), OS/2 Warp, Windows (versions 95 -> XP), OpenBSD, Red Hat and at least one other Linux distribution on my PC at home.

I wanted the dual boot so that I could better develop this website, and edit my novel in an environment that doesn't crash constantly (even XP has become unstable now that it's chosen to do so - I think SP2 was to blame; that OS purchase was a waste of $400!).

When destiny comes to a man from outside, it lays him low, just as an arrow lays a deer low. When destiny comes to a man from within, from his innermost being, it makes him strong, it makes him into a god…
