To have a look, without wasting money on a new hard drive, you could try making an install that runs off a USB flash drive. They're cheap, and immediately re-useable, if you don't thrash it to death with your test. Sure, a live DVD could give you a trial look, too. But it's such a painfully slow medium. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 3.9.10-100.fc17.x86_64 #1 SMP Sun Jul 14 01:31:27 UTC 2013 x86_64 All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point trying to privately email me, I will only read messages posted to the public lists.
