Well the time has come.....as it does every few years.

My HDD is virtually full. I have insufficient memory. My PC is too
noisy. My son tells me my graphics card is inadequate. No more room for
enhancements and upgrades. It's time for a new one.

I've just ordered one of these http://tinyurl.com/kjp8p with (amongst
other things) a 500G HDD which I envisage assembling this weekend.

The most important decision I have to make in the coming days is whether
to format the 500G as one huge partition or to have multiple partitions
eg: 100G for OS and applications and 400G for My
Documents/Pictures/Videos etc.

What would you do?


Put Linux on it, and shoot my son.

FYI I have an elephants graveyard of old PC's and he HAS put Linux on them,
as well as on his IPOD (for what purpose I do not know).

There's a version called Kubuntu which I reckon is pretty cool.

Problem is that I do not have a beard and my son is too young to grow one.

Sticking with Bill Gates for now. Actively considering purging Rupert
Murdoch from my life though.
