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.

Hard Drive Price Hike 2

Well, so much for Samsung... Newegg raised the prices on those too. It makes sense though, if you understand the law of supply and demand. Looks like it's time to wait it out. (LOL)
