Why?
My studies at school will still need Windows environment.
Then Why linux-only?
Windows is so insecure. I'm gonna format the whole thing in ext-4 and put Linux on. Recently,.. two two laptops belonged to two of my friends were lost with their important and confidential data on hard drives. They both were using Windows. Windows filesystem and password encryption algorithms provide almost no security compared to Fedora. Soon,... as I find a temporary place to back up my data which is about 100 gigabytes,.. I will completely turn my hard drive into an encrypted ext-4 system. Simple, free, open, but secure. :)
Even if my laptop is stolen, nobody will be able to find out what I was up to, unless the thief is also a professional cracker.
What's next?
I need to borrow a portable hard drive, to back up my data. Unless I use a portable hard drive, it may be costly to back up all the things into DVDs. Then reformat my hard drive,... install Fedora 11... the upcoming OS on the newly created encrypted drive. Sometimes I may install Ubuntu aside. Finally get my data back and shred the backed up data to prevent unexpected privacy circumstances. :P Additionally I may set up Virtualbox to install Windows XP on a virtual partition.
Several people in our junior batch have become completely FOSS dudes,... so why can't I? Actually, for people who do Computer Science it is easy to switch to Linux,.. but for ICT people it could be bit hard.
Wish me good luck!

But you can use virtualbox and install Windows inside linux, right?

Be careful when using encrypted drives bro. If for some reason ur hard drive crashes it's gonna be really difficult to recover the data.

i just say ok. but i heard many ppl include u, says dat linux is secure than windows. can i know why windows is insecure? i don't hav too many experiences with linux but i feel dat linux security is same as windows security. both are breakable neda?

My husband heads straight for craps and generally video poker, my son-in-law heads straight for blackjack. My daughter and I 소울카지노 try to play together, however she actually likes the video higher and I actually just like the reels. Playing video along with her this one time, I received sort of|a type of} free spin bonuses, and it went really well. I saved getting more free spins the center of|in the midst of|in the course of} the round, and I had some good winners too.
