| I love Ubuntu 6.06. The ability to access my Windows NTFS partitions is definately my fav new feature. I only wish I could access my Ubuntu partition from Windows...

| http://uranus.it.swin.edu.au/~jn/linux/ext2ifs.htm It only supports EXT2 and EXT3 (as if it were EXT2, no journalling)

 The Ubuntu forums are quite good. There are some items that can be disabled in System - Services but the most definitive way of doing this is via the Boot-Up Manager...(get ready for it)...bum!  bumI have to think something like that was named on purpose. So I have to, umm, go take a look at Ubuntu's bum to see what's up. <snicker> | |

 This means I'll have tried: - Mandrake - SUSE 9 - Fedora (I don't remember which version, it never installed) - Knoppix HD install (aka Debian) - FreeBSD (yeah I know it's not Linux, its more like UNIX) and I think one or two others. And yet I'm still very much a Linux newbie as I when I got frustrated with any of these I just wiped it and stopped playing with it. This time I'll stick it out because I have to. I can't/won't go back to Windows 98SE, I just don't feel safe using it anymore. Plus Ubuntu feels faster. | |

| personally, i like freebsd mindset and ideals, but linux is just so much more usable that i stick with it. I have tried most of those Unix like os's and loved them all, except knoppix which i find to be poorly laid out, however, i last used it on knoppix 3.5. I will be using SuSE 10.1 at school very soon, so i cant comment on it, but i am going to give SLED a try. Unless its really different and better, i will be sticking with Ubuntu

| John thanks for the EXT2IFS link. Will be a great program if i ever decide to boot into windows again lol  Froach: You can still keep a floppy disk i nthere and just skip it in the boot options. You still find it faster even if it's not in the boot sequence? |

It also saves power and makes bootup a little less noisy. If I need one I can install one temporarily. I still have a floppy in my SmoothWall box, mostly because I don't have any blanks for that case. However I yanked the power and data cable and disabled it in the BIOS. | |

the ONLY thing weird about EXT2IFS is that it uses EXT3 in EXT2 mode, meaning that you still get read and write accesss, its just journaling you miss.
