SFE - Switching Between 8 Operating Systems

[libearl]

Pretty cool,but that is an odd choice of distros. Can you please explain why you picked those particular distrobutions?

On my Toshiba laptop, I am currently running Windows 7 Ultimate, Ubuntu 10.10, Mint 9, Debian Stable, and Mandriva. All are 64 bit. I use a custom GRUB (bootloader). All of the OSs are installed on the internal hard disk. Each is on it's own partition. I also have the bootloader locked down with a password, as to prevent unauthorized access to failsafe modes of linux.

[SFEtech]

All of the OSes are installed on the notebook harddrive. The two USB cables seen are to the keyboard and mouse. We will be adding three new videos shortly with our new eSATA Combo Device (external).

[AccursedSliver]

lol close call aye :) ATM Im Usin Ubuntu Linux Only Down Side Is I Dont Think Theres Any Support Fer ShockWave

[IcouldBNE1]

Not for me. I couldn't get all of my hardware to work in Ubuntu. I probably could if I replaced my hardware that Ubuntu doesn't currently support. I also haven't become experienced enough using Wine and I need a lot of my Windows programs.

[piteur]

[CanWeGoBackRIPhiphop]

Thanks for the information, definitly saving in my favorites.

[gothjeff]

and where would I go to get Flash VOS SOS 2.02

[SFEtech]

You can get a beta version of Flash VOS SOS 2.02 by purchasing certain SFE products. Visit the SFEtech webstie for more info.

[gothjeff]

whats the point in switching them is it just for show or what?

[SFEtech]

Flash VOS is primarily for people who use multiple operating systems. Different Operating Systems have specializations in certain fields. For example, most prefer to use OSX for graphic/video/editing, Windows for office/gaming/internet use, and Linux for developing/processing/server use. With Flash VOS, you can gain from specialization by having all of the benefits from various Operating Systems on a single computer.

[gothjeff]

i see thanks for all the info

[omgcahley]

kewl

[hairhorn]

damn I was hoping for OS/2, Win 3.1 and maybe NeXT.... not umpteen *nix versions.....

[SFEtech]

Haah, sorry. But yeah, you can install all of those as well.

[marioguy]

now do it on a mac!

[SFEtech]

That is what we are working on.

[anakinben]

How are you able to do that

[SFEtech]

By using Flash VOS. You can run as many operating systems as you want.

The switching is a bit slow because its on a mid spec'd notebook, however, we have two newer models that switch considerably faster.
