I have Partition Magic. It's a cool app! It really rocks!

I've used it quite successfully in the past. However, at this time, I haven't reinstalled it after my last f-disk back in July.

With two physical drives, and giving up on re-learning Unix/Linux, I can't see the need in it.

God I so want my Windows Apps to run on Linux without spending days to learn how to install an emulator that will work with each different application. To my knowledge, Rhino and Adobe products have no emulator that will work/

My reason for wanting to get away from Windows is that Linux is a much more efficient operating system, and they have desktop platforms available that work as well as XP. It's faster because it's not a freight train on a sociopathic power trip. It does all the check-disk/check-sum stuff on its way up, so it's slow to start instead of being slow to perform.

Whats more, when it comes to security, there are so many different ways to set up the platforms, things you can leave out entirely, that it makes it more difficult for a leprechaun to make a virus to attack your system. For instance.

Back in '03, the day after the US invaded Iraq, I used my newsgroup auto-plucker which runs on Windows in order to get "Official Pictures" of the aircraft and military ground forces at work. I picked up the same virus on that newsgroup that every branch of the US Government got did, including the FBI, CIA, and all branches of the Armed Forces did. There was only one branch that did not get the virus: the newly created Department Homeland Security. Why didn't they get it? Because they were using Linux. The Unix code created for NSA so many decades ago.

Just thought I'd add that. Sorry for hogging the thread Tom.
