Another appeal to those more 1337 than I...
Tomorrow I might be getting a new hard drive. Between ripping CDs for my mp3 player and just enjoying broadband way too much, it has come to my attention that my 40Gb just isn't gonna cut it. So now I have a delemma: What's the best way to install it? Should I...
A) install it as the main drive with the old one as the slave, install the OS onto it, copy all my important stuff over to it, and then wipe the old drive and leave it in there for my next attempt at Linux
B) do the same as A, except not put the old hard drive in until the OS is installed on the new one
C) back up all my old crap onto CDs, install the new drive, and toss the old one, even though that seems like a huge pain and I'd have to go buy a new spindle
D) install the new drive as a slave to the old, then use the old drive for running the OS and programs and stuff and use the new one for storing crap, and I dunno what I'd do with Linux then, maybe just partition part of the new drive
E) some exciting other solution
Also, I think Aaron Archer likes me. Every time he runs into one of the other guys - like, say, Walky at SDCC today - he asks about me. I wonder if it's too late to get Primus a Sparkplug Mini-Con...
