Ubuntu On Fujitsu Lifebook S6510
Blog If that works, I could even consider setting up the S6510 with three partitions, for Ubuntu, XP and Vista, so that I can go back and try Vista again from time to time, to see if the latest updates have improved that situation.

Dual-Boot Ubuntu And Windows XP Professional
Blog I kept my "primary" Windows XP disk intact, by using a second disk drive which I had previously used to test Vista and Ubuntu on that system. But that one is actually able to run Vista (more or less), so I would like to set it up with partitions...

OpenSUSE 11.0 First Impressions

Why I've Moved From Vista To Ubuntu 7.10
Blog Comment I did however get the games that were not running correctly under Vista to work fine under the WINE Windows Emulator included with Ubuntu! Ubuntu also runs faster, looks nicer than the new Vista Aero desktop, and uses FAR fewer resources.

I Will Blog, Despite Vista's Best Efforts
Blog Until Microsoft truly gets that, I'll be sticking Ubuntu - or XP as a backup if I really need to run Windows. I could easily reboot into Ubuntu, and in fact was abot to so so, but something occurred to me.
