Well, I finally did it. I burnt Fedora Core 2 Install CD’s, and put it on my 2nd HD of my Thinkpad. Had trouble booting at first, but found a hidden option in my BIOS to select the drive as my boot drive. It’s zippy! Very, very, very fast. My big problem so far is I’ve been unable to get my wireless card going, and downloading anything, means booting into windows, and copying to a floppy disk…. a real drag.
But it is fast. Looks like I got a new toy to play with!
Also on th agenda is a boot loader. I tried just using the Windows one, but that wasn’t working for me, so perhaps I’ll just use grub on the alternate drive, to boot windows. If anyone has some good directions, or reading material on this topic, please shoot me an email, or leave a comment, I’d really appreciate it.
Other than that, all is good. It’s been a very busy week, so some geeky fun was in order.

Just take a look at the install manual of gentoo-linux (www.gentoo.org)
They also explain how to setup grub to start windows…
And by the way, gentoo linux is also a veeeeerry fast and veeeeerry cool distro… 😉
