from dual to single boot

August 8th, 2005 ahmedre

i’ve always dual booted windows and linux even though linux was my primary os [i am currently running gentoo, its great!]. but finally, today, i’ve deleted the xp partition and am now running 100% linux. i may get vmware so i can play around with visual studio if i want to write some windows apps, but i think the days of dual booting are over for me, at least for now.

    perhaps you could try QEMU instead of VMWare, It’s free & open source.

    Feels good? I’ve been there before. it’s been few years since I last doul booted. I still use vmware though for AutoCAD between time to time. I am currently on Debian for the last few months.
