Dang. That makes me feel better about getting one now. Heck, I'm using a 160GB drive currently for my OS. Even a 240GB SDD isn't bad nowadays. I could even make /boot much larger and install a rescue system on there, I think. Since sysrescue went sideways, not sure how that work anymore. I read sysrescue went to some other OS, which should work but you know. ;-) I think this is going to be neato. Now to save up and get one. O_O Dale :-) :-)
