I am a linux lover working at a university, and unlike most universities this one is m$ from the bottom to the top. From the webservers and fileservers to learning management systems, to Sharepoint (you don't wanna know.....) all the way to the desktop - WinXP, IE, Outlook, MSOffice....... Users ahve no admin rights, and to top it off you can't change the boot order, so booting linux from a usb is not possible. <br /><br />The good news is, they have no problem with 'bring your own hardware'. So I do use my linux laptop :-) <br /><br />I now just have to cope with the usual problems that come with m$-"standards". <br /><br />Keep up your blog! :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5650649138973583402.post-52588037524895627592011-09-05T18:18:31.996-05:002011-09-05T18:18:31.996-05:00Personally I would prefer to chain via ntldr becau...Personally I would prefer to chain via ntldr because I wouldn't have to (a) carry around a USB stick and (b) keep a duplicate of it in case the stick fails or I lose it somehow. Updating the file to chain to whenever the Linux bootloader is modified is only a minor inconvenience.MadScientistnoreply@blogger.com
