[Klug-general] The boy's new OS and Linux

[Michael. E. Rentell]

Yes, that's what I thought. I have had Mandrake/Mandriva (periodically 
upgraded) on my desktop machine, sharing a hard disk with Win98SE and 
then XP for ten years or so with no problems. But it was only after 
seeing the article in PCPlus that Vista checks such things regularly 
that I wondered if it would object to the HD being half the size it was 
when it first registered.

'twas all.

All the considerate answers from KLUG so far have assured me I am 
worrying about nothing. So that's good.

Thanks to all.
