last night I was trying to think why I had only 80GB free on my 140GB disk running Vista? I tried cleaning up stuff I am not using including a 8GB Debian VM image and stuff like that. I even un-installed Office 2007 that I was not using .. still the space did not seem to go ... it grew to a mere 84GB ...
Then as I tried to remove another application, it prompted me for a restart and hello! the laptop wont boot up! After an hour of system recovery it started and behold! I can see 104GB free now ...
What the hell was Vista hogging 20GB for???
Anyways .. I have decided to install Linux as a dual boot on my laptop ... my decision was limited to Debian or Ubuntu ... I like Debain's stability from when I used it on my Linux only laptop ... but in this case I want to preserve the Vista partition .. so I will stick to Ubuntu which I can install with less risk of spoing things ... Last time I did Debain it was another story :)
Wish me all the best
