I like the helpful information you supply in your articles. I will bookmark your weblog and test once more here regularly. I am somewhat certain I’ll be told lots of new stuff proper right here! Best of luck for the following!

Thanks for your question. I try to keep Kubuntu isolated from my other distros. I tried to use a common home directory a while back but, as you noted, it will screw up configuration files quickly. I had to reinstall Kubuntu. I decided not to mess with my production partitions.

Here is the partition configuration for my desktop:

sda1= Extended Partition ~ 70GB
sda2=Kubuntu Root File System ~ 75GB
sda3=Kubuntu Home ~150GB
sda4=There is none – Not sure how that happened!
sda5=Chakra (and Home) ~25GB
sda 6= Varies by Week. Last week it was Sabayon. This week, I am looking at Zorin 3.5GB version, provided I can get a clean download. ~ 35GB
sda7= swap ~10GB

It was originally partitioned by Zareason (three: root, home, swap) but I redid it. I have tested Pear-KDE, Trisquel, Vector, Ubuntu 12-4, Extix, ComiceOS 4, Siduction, Hybryde, to name a few. I keep a SuperGrub disk handy!

Regards,

Mary

NVIDIA PR Responds To Torvalds:

I think its a BS response and for the most part a FU back at Linus.

For Mary: The distros you test on your sd6 partition, do you use a common /home partition ? Does the config files of the distro in test conflict with Kubuntu install ? Basically whats your partition setup?

Nice review of Sabayon. If you want a good laugh, open a terminal and type any command but misspell on purpose. Keep misspelling and the resulting response gets very funny.
