Back home, this vacation, i had fedora 8 and ubuntu 8.04 installed on my system. in process of installing these OSs i had formatted various partitions (had 3 primary, and 3 extended including a 1gig swap), so that the disk had a bunch of unallocated space pending here and there, wasting some 400mb of the total space. once after coming back to insti, i formatted the whole disk (with aayush donating his external hdd for my data backup of almost 35 gb). then installed XP on a 10gig primary partition. also made a 41gb of ntfs partition to keep my data permanently on. apart from that installed fedora 9 on another 10gig primary, leaving a partition of about 9 gb for trying out various distros, now and then. so presently my Os config is as follows -
1. Windows XP service pack 3
2. Fedora 9
3. openSuse 11.0
its my fedora gnome desktop. dont know y i put it here, but i kinda like the way it looks on a webpage. currently my eclipse 3.3 is giving some wierd errors in resolving the mylyn bridges so i m not able to install the Android plugin. therefore, i m updating eclipse from yum, and if that doesn’t work, i might download eclipse 3.4, which is another huge 160 mb. neways, had nothing to do otherwise, so wrote this entry. will get back will something more sensible soon.
