[techtalk] Linux - Windows System

[WolfRyder]

I just bought another HD and that's what houses my win product. The NT 
want's to be "main boot HD" so I let it because LILO still asks which OS 
you want to boot into. The default is Linux.

HDs aren't really expensive anymore so $150 did the trick for a 20GB 
7200RPM speed.

Also, that way, when windows destroys itself and needs reinstalling I don't 
have to also reinstall my SuSE.
