"Freedom of choice is one of the great benefits of Open Source Software in general and Linux in particular. This freedom gives consumers the ability to select, without fear of litigation, what software they will use and how they will use or modify it. As a principal, this freedom is extremely valuable. However, a couple of announcements this week seem to indicate that market value of freedom of choice has dipped considerably. The biggest hurdle Linux adoption faced this week wasn't Microsoft, it was an enemy from within: Linux fragmentation."

In this blog:
I'm not sure why you'd want /boot to be anything other than ext2 anyways... seems kinda overkill?
I can't speak about the LiveCD installed... I still use the alternative install media (debian-installer).
Doesn't say much about actually giving the system a real shot though...

Sorry to hear about your (obvious) Ubu installation tortures.
I on the other hand, went out and bought a brand new 80Gb. Western Digital HD,
and gave the whole danged thing to Ubu 6.10 - and have had no problems!
I've always preferred to keep difrnt Operating Systems on difrnt hard drives:
- none of this partitioning nonsense for me.
Call me simple-minded, but call me.
