My Distros

This list often changes:

I have had two hard drives.  One is was an 80 Gig Maxtor Diamond Max 9.  Hopefully, it will last for a long time.  The other is was a 16 Gig Seagate U-series drive that I bought for $5.

The large drive houses my main distro, Ubuntu (currently Hardy Heron, somewhere around Alpha 4-5) and the smaller one houses whatever I want to play with.  Right now, its got Arch, running e17.

Neither is true any more. Both drives failed. The 80G Maxtor is still in my machine, but the IDE power cable has been pulled form it. I backed it up to a new Western Digital WD1600JS, which is a 160GB SATA II drive (jumpered to SATA to work on my old motherboard), housing Ubuntu 9.10 on the first partitions (“/” on 1, swap, and “/home” on a separate partition). It also currently has a very broken 9.10 to 10.04 upgrade on another partition (which I am keeping on to see if it will ever update itself past the kernel panic it gets with the latest kernel – and no desktop GUI will load, thanks to Ubuntu breaking everything, as usual). As well, there is Mepis 8.5 alpha and Fedora 12 LXDE respin.
