Re: [LUG] Dual booting new laptop

 

Many thanks for all suggestions.

1)  Lilo: will look at a bit later, currently creating DVD restore. Ditto
    the Debian encryption choices.

2)  Will run gparted externally

3)  For amusement, battery life after fully charged overnight: 3 Hrs 25

    Turned off Aero:    5 hrs 29
    Removed MS Works and mcafee:        10 hrs 27

4)  I need Microsoft .NET and probably Silverlight as some websites seem to
    demand both
    
    Any thoughts on deleting any of the following:
    MS office suite activation? (Presumably this is junk)
    MS SQL Server 2005 compact edition? (why would they include this?)
    MS Visual C++ 2005 redistributable? (why would they include this?)

    Can anyone think of an advantage of MS Live or MyWinLocker?
