Zach — Fri, 24 Apr 2009 06:02:41 +0000

Vista and Linux

Zach — Thu, 21 Aug 2008 14:58:25 +0000

Can Vista and Linux co-exist on the same machine? Yes they can it is a little tricky primarily due to the fact that Vista believes that Grub is some type of virus and will not let you load on boot and well we all know that Windows in general believes they are superior to all and should not be installed on any other HDD other than disk 0 (primary drive).

Editing Grub boot menu

Zach — Thu, 10 Jul 2008 04:22:12 +0000

I have an Ubuntu/WinXP dual-boot machine. The GRUB bootloader menu allows me to boot into several Ubuntu options or into WinXP. Unless I have to fix something (which I hope I wonâ€™t have to), I only ever choose the main Ubuntu option or WinXP. These options are, however, at either ends of the list. Iâ€™d prefer them to be next to each other for quick access.
