When all you have to do is overwrite windows with a light weight linux and its just as fast as its first day running (rather faster actually). People throw away desktops/laptops with windows XP/7 like its trash. I must admit though as more and more games comes to linux, i have a harder time justifying keeping a windows desktop.īut now i find it easier to just use numerous computers. At some point i got sick of shutting down to switch. Now i just have numerous computers side by side on my desk in my living room.

Well actually 'quad' boot, because i had Ubuntu, Arch, and Gentoo on an extended partition, and the latest windows on the other. I had linux installed, and windows in the virtual machine as that is what i used less. Quote: how many of you use virtual machines, second or third computers, servers (maybe remote or virtual), or the cloud? I learned my lesson 2 months ago with this server. I would not run something longer than a month before updating and restarting. my employer had a machine running an unpatched Netware box for over 3 years (about 3.1) out of fear it would not come back up if rebooted. i used to regularly have programs run for longer than a month.
