OS Installation Counts

I got bored and thought I'd make a short post of OS installation counts.

An installation is a current installation, not the number of times I've installed (which would just get ridiculous).
  • Windows: 2 Installs (Triela and Lie-chan)
  • Mac OS X: 2 Installs (Shizuma and Momiji-chan)
  • Linux (any distro): 7 Installs (Triela:2, Lie-chan:2, Mei-Ren:1, Momiji-chan:1, Jukebox:1)
*Note that the testbed space on Triela does not count.

I would bring Triela and Lie-chan down to 1 install each, but the fact that openSUSE uses GRUB 1 bugs me. Everytime I do an install of openSUSE, the bootloader section always tells me that the boot partition doesn't entirely lie below the 128gb mark and the system might not boot. I don't know if this has something to do with GRUB 1, but it's sure annoying to see. That's really the only reason why I have an installation of Ubuntu. I read that openSUSE 12.1 is going to ship with GRUB 2 (finally!), but I need the VLC problem solved before I can migrate to it.
