Re: [LINUX_Newbies] Wont boot..help

I've decided to download Fedora, Arch and Debian.

I'll leave Ubuntu 10.04 LTS on as my primary OS for the moment, just because
it's familiar. I'm adding a partition for Debian and a partition for Arch.
If I give each OS 50 Gigs, that will still leave me 150G for my data
partition. Then, I'll run Fedora from the live CD to see if I like it.

My goal is to become familiar and comfortable in as many Linux Distros as
possible. I've used Puppy and DSL on an older machine. I also used Mint for
a while on one of my kids' machines, but I didn't like it and went back to
Ubuntu 10.04 LTS.

Part of this distro exploration came about because I downloaded the most
recent version of Ubuntu yesterday as part of my computer restore efforts. I
figured since I had to re- install anyway I'd update to the newest version.
I *hate* it. I'm too attached to my standard 10 work spaces and the ability
to pin short cuts to the top and bottom panel. I hated that side scroll
thing. It was in the way, and hard to get to when my desktop was filled with
windows. So, I re-installed the 10.04 LTS and decided to try a new OS or
two.
