Deciding If Linux Is Worth The Switch
voidmain:
Calum, as you probably know, my fail-safe boot disk was a joke. All you have to do is have a basic bootable disk (created from DOS or Win9x is plenty) with a copy of FDISK on it and then boot from it and do an "FDISK /MBR" to restore the boot sector. This works for All DOS/Win versions, doesn't matter whether it's FAT or NTFS.
I was just hoping that tard Choochoo would follow my advice for one time in his life and format his Windows drive. He keeps complaining that he can't get Perl CGI programs to work and I offered him help and suggestions and he chose to ignore me. Never responded once to weather he tried my advice or not. I asked him about 4 times weather he looked at my suggestions when I saw him complaining about Perl and he never responds. So if he wants to be a tard he can have a nice clean hard drive.

Take my advice; don't switch to Linux. It's as frustrating as hell, and since you already have XP, why not stick with what works? I've used Linux before, trust me, it's not nearly as good as these linux-heads make it out to be. Besides, the last thing we need in this economy is some anti-capitalistic movement forcing companies to give up their intellectual property rights because of some linux communists' ideals.

Heh heh!!! That was one of the funniest things I think I have ever heard! You're a barrel of laughs dumb ass.

Why don't you go to a meeting of the young Republicans or something; maybe Dan Quayle will give you a potatoe.

Oh yes, i knew that but i was really wanting to know if there was an equivalent to your format disk for ntfs and winxp... and whether or not it can be triggered remotely, or made to run via a webpage perhaps! I never get tired of these purely intellectual puzzles...

I did notice that actually, although he doesn't seem like a tard in any other way...
