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 | |
