You try to boot the PC and it goes into a reboot-loop.</p> <p>This has happened a few times recently and each time I end up reinstalling Windows. Not that I mind too much, Windows seems to need regular reinstalls to stop it from seizing up altogether.</p> <p>Linux seems to handle new hardware a lot better, although it's always possible to boot into a low run level (a rather extreme equivalent of Windows Safe Mode!). You just don't get the Windows clog-up problems with Linux, as applications' settings aren't all installed into one bloated registry file.</p> Wed, 05 Oct 2005 18:11:00 +0000 urn:uuid:34744c9d909e61d72fc6705bc65b587a Kat Crichton http://blog.klaws.org/articles/2005/10/05/new-thing Linux http://blog.klaws.org/articles/trackback/4
