MULTIBOOTING OPENSUSE 11.1 VISTA

OPENSUSE install

Prerequisite Create a 15 - 20 GB unallocated partition through windows disk management or any partition manager of your choice,

Install:

Installation is pretty straight forward. I prefer to use KDE 4.1 desktop environment. HARDDISK CONFIG : I went for expert config and suggest that you should. You will not see the unallocated space you created there. but dont worry it is usable. click add and create a 600 MB ext 3 partition with mount point /boot. Next Create a 2 GB swap partition and the remaining an ext3 with mount point "/". If you want to access the windows files via opensuse select each of your windows partition and select edit. Next confirm that it says "DO NOT FORMAT" and set its mount point to / mnt/drive_C. the mount point will change as the number of drives are increased. BOOTLOADER CONFIG : when you finish giving all your inputs it displays an anallysis of taks. Select bootloader. switch to bootloader config there. select only 2 options. 1. install bootloader to boot partition 2. install bootloader to MBR

You are done......

Unetbootin Is Awesome

Unetbootin is the tool that can install near about any distro of linux through usb. I installed Ubuntu it took me 4 mins to complete it. Ultimate Edition in 7 mins. It can really be handy.. it saves a hell lota time. freely available at http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ .

Currently Downloading Another Distro of Linux

am currently downloading slax and will use it with my usb. will write about it soon..

Linux Distro : Ultimate Edition

The best Distro that i have seen till date is Ultimate Edition (UE). UE looks sharp. it has emerald window manager that can make it look like vista and even better...

easy to install.. detects ntfs partitions automatically... very stable as it is based on ubuntu......

it is also bundled with a whole load of s/w . it has support for mp3 playback nd no codec required, it is good for all kinds of users:

i) Multimedia : it has a variety of audio and video players.... like amarok and vlc

ii) Developers : it comes with IDEs for all sorts of languages.

iii) Graphics : uncountable graphic / image editors..

iv) Home Users: its great and user friendly look makes it appealing for all users to be able to operate it without much hassle.

v) Gamers : It comes with a gamers edition that contains linux based games for all hardcore gamers.

It comes with Gnome, XFCE , Enlightment Desktop environments. It also has great archiving and iso makers / burners all bundled along it....

So for all with limited download/upload, here's the distro u'd want.

Linux Distro : Mandriva

Often people look for a distro that is a replacement for windows.... you've got one... Mandriva has a smooth look (not as fancy as vista). It also easily manages ur partitions and plug n play devices.

wine didnt work as well here.... Got the 3d engine working though through compiz.

Linux Distro Ubuntu

Near about the most stable distro of linux that I have used is Ubuntu. It is the best for beginners coz it has a huge community where u find any and everything. It has wide ranged hardware support worked well on my quad core Q6600 . But u know its not the fastest of all. It easily mounted all my windows ntfs partitions in it. the 3d graphics worked well under compiz. Used wine to run win exe. worked like magic. But only some exe's work under it. Then there was an urge to shift to KDE. I liked it.... Though KDE4.0 is released .. i would not recommend to use it coz its very buggy at the moment... But the one with with KDE3.6 is stable nd a good distro but not the best as yet.
