When I first built my superduper gaming machine in 2004 I of course installed XP on it. I played a lot of Call of Duty, both Max Payne titles, Halo, Far Cry, etc. After a few months I started to get more interested in Linux while playing with it on my laptop. I bought another hard drive and installed Slackware 9.0 on it. Since then I probably booted into windows under ten times. Once to use Turbo Tax, and a few times to get some photo or document I needed off of it.

When I discovered how to mount the XP partition in Slackware using LVM, I never had to boot into windows at all. It has been about a year I think.

Now I don’t have a choice. I repartitioned that array and installed Kubuntu 8.10 on it. (Sorry it wasn’t Gentoo Alex). I don’t like Gnome and I wanted to be able to say I’ve installed and used a *buntu recently. Not everything Slackware does is transferable to all Linux distributions, so I thought I’d expand my horizons.
