Nice!@JackRabiit,d2dtk.
Wooo!
Original Install Date: 3/17/2007, 2:26:18 AM
I've moved my os from disk to disk Via drive cloning, I went from XPpro to Vistaids64, to Win764
I feel special

Just about a year now (2012-06-15) but not for much longer, gonna switch back to linux.
Probably Ubuntu because I'm lazy, but maybe I'll go with Fedora. hmm...

Who forced you to use Windows? Will you bring them before a human rights court?

Well you can have as many free versions as you want seeing as mine was not exactly legitimate anyway.
No one really "forced" me to use Windows, it's just that when I built this system I had intended it to be for playing games and I'm not really doing that much anymore.

It seems useless.
You wouldn't be saying that if you were a Windows systems admin.
Or if you wanted to check your local or gateway IP. Or a bunch of other things. The command line in Windows is just for the more advanced users who know what they can get out of it.
It isn't very well written. Something with bash-like syntax would be better.

Interestingly enough, one of the first programs I ever wrote, in some form or another of BASIC, was a one-line "virus" that erased everything on the hard drive. I never intended to run it. My dad, however, didn't know what it would do....
Boy, was he pissed. I honestly thought I was going to die that day.
Heh. I did almost exactly the same thing in high school, only it wasn't BASIC, it was autorun.inf (this was back when Windows would silently run anything autorun.inf told it to, no questions asked). I nearly got suspended for that.Boy, was he pissed. I honestly thought I was going to die that day.

I remember whining about autorun.ini idea long before it became problem. It took few years for virus writers to start utilize this "feature" and few more years for Microsoft to disable it via optional KB update. One guy I know got all his equipment damaged by variation of Chernobyl virus from infected autorun program on game demo CD. He was running Win98 back then and even his CD-ROM firmware got damaged by virus.
You cannot reasonably backup everything.

It really depends what the computer are supposed to do.
More and more I rely on virtual machines or live bootable systems. Still I need one computer that can do almost anything I need at a few clicks. Or create DVD that can be booted off from another PC. And that can be used for both entertainment, gaming and internet stuff without rebooting or switching hardware.
This is why my real PC and OS is so important. Learned it hard way, now will have fully loaded rigs all around me.

Today installing OS is almost month of daily installing, tweaking, securing, configuring, testing until everything works as it should.
A well-planned Linux install can be over and done with in a day, but that planning takes some time. Or, you can put everything you need on a bootable CD or USB stick, and just run off that, and never have to worry about installing again. Most of the USB versions of this plan even allow for storage of files and whatnot. But for security, you can't beat a Live CD.
Long time ago one friend started to write DoS tool but decided to abandon project and ended with adding few lines to code that destroy windows. The damage is not visible until rebooted. The software still had the GUI interface of original intended purpose and I run it. It was before virtualization and test environments become available.
That ended with reinstallation of my OS. Back then reinstalling was fast and easy. On morning I booted Windows98 startup floppy and in evening I was playing games with my friends or causing devastation on IRC servers or NMDC hubs. Today installing OS is almost month of daily installing, tweaking, securing, configuring, testing until everything works as it should.

try del c:\*.*
Yes I like jokes!try del c:\*.*
del c:/*.* will stuck against system files protected by permissions even under WindowsXP. Yet this command could goatse all my files stored on regular folders.
Probably will succeed under Windows98, especially if reboooted into DOS mode.

Like overwriting the first 512 bytes of the disk

Windows have pretty much standard MBR so if it was known to be a clean and standart installation, the MBR can be manually recreated with hex editor. Or copied from other MBR and adjusted for partition size. Things are little worse with full disk encryption, you need a backup to restore loader and key data if it is located there. Enjoy
I have one old laptop that I reinstall the os everyday that I use it. It's never more than a few hours old.
Nice. Puppy is a pretty clean OS. Yeah, it's sweet. No extra crap - just what you need. Funny that I thought a 16gb flash drive would fill up fast but after a year it's still only half full. I love the "computer in your pocket" concept.

Try NOT to delete the root partition!
Don't listen to this advice. You have to take a risk every once in a while, otherwise life gets boring. Live on the edge!
Ouch. As much as I know, rm=remove, I know this much. Next time should research cmds, prior to executing them. It's like mentioning /cp to newbies in call of duty. Lol. /cp isn't as damaging though, it just disconnects/exits cod. But for someone to mention a cmd to remove a partition are/is an asshole at the least.
I will give you the anatomy of the cmd:
rm = remove
-f = force
-r = recursive (delete everything, including dirs)
/ = root partition

I reinstall my Linux OS (partition) every 2-3 months, not that it is needed for stability issues or any thing, I just like the nice clean feeling, plus it only takes around 15 minutes to do.

Longer than I thought :/ Far, far too long.
I got a legit copy of Windows from my university though, so I'll be reformatting sometime in the next few weeks
Then I can finally get that wonderful feeling of a fresh install.
