My dual booting days are over

------------------------------
Or maybe not...
I started using linux in 2003, I dual booted until 2005 and from then
on I exclusively used one of the *nix family operating systems
(linux, bsd and others) Last night I remembered back in the days in
which you had to reboot your machine to switch your system. It was
fun, but now I just can't imagine doing it again and again.
I say it was fun because it was a time of experimentation and
learning. I once had windows and SUSE and both emule and amule
continued working sharing the same directory independently of the os
you were using. It was like wow to a newbie like me.
Well those days are long gone, except for one machine in which I have
debian and freebsd in two hard drives. But to tell you the truth I
hardly ever boot into that debian instance. I consider it my freebsd
machine. Too bad I use it very little even though I put a lot of
effort configuring freebsd to my liking.
In fact there is not a lot of difference booting into one or the
other since they have similar setups, in terms of software and
everyday use applications. (i3, text editor, web browser...) the real
difference lies under the hood.
Have a good All Saints' Day
