He created 152 partitions on 4 hard drives to get his system up and running. www.downloadsquad.com Morpheus1 (186)
591352 2007-09-15 02:11:00 I must say, if I wanted 145 different OS's, I'd probably just whip out VirtualPC or vmware... Sherman (9181)

I suspect they are quite knowledgeable. It would have been quite a feat to get them all going as I came across a limitation of 15 partitions per disks recently.

I've been dabbling with Virtualbox recently and have been very impressed with it. I especially like the snapshot feature. It makes it so easy to try something out and if it doesn't work just revert to a previous snapshot. I just need to upgrade my PC and then I will use PCLinuxOS as my host and run other OS's as guest
