You may change your mind about that when you've read my comments... You seem to be neither Windows nor Linux right now. 20 FAT32 partitions per drive *for safety*? Four machines dual booting? Two versions of Windows and at least one Linux? Best way to learn a language: move to where it's spoken natively. Learn to think in the other language, not translate everything [anecdote below]. My suggestion to you is to pick either Windows or Linux, and stick with that. If you want to, you can do everything in Linux. People have lots of reasons why they still need Windows, but they mostly boil down to "they still want Windows". If you want Windows, use it; if you want to use Linux, use that. Anecdote: my wife is Swedish, and has only ever spoken to our daughter in Swedish. So, from when she could speak, daughter has been bilingual. Until she was about four, she couldn't translate from one language to the other. I'd ask her what Mummy had said; she's look at me as if I were stupid and tell me it was SWEDISH so I wouldn't understand. From about four, she realised she could re-state the same intelligence in a different way. I think that's fascinating (but irrelevant to your post, Charles, sorry). -- "You can't live a perfect day without doing something for someone who will never be able to repay you." -- Next meeting: Bournemouth, Tuesday, 2013-07-02 20:00 Meets, Mailing list, IRC, LinkedIn, ... http://dorset.lug.org.uk/ New thread on mailing list: mailto:dorset@mailman.lug.org.uk How to Report Bugs Effectively: http://goo.gl/4Xue
