    The Windows 7 upgrade advisor doesn't seem to want to run on my computer. Oh well. Guess I'll never know if I can run Windows 7.

      @gomerx that means you should install #Arch on it

      I have to do Windows support at work so I thought of installing Win 7 at home. It's just ridiculously expensive so I stopped thinking that

      But you're right. I should probably install Arch on it.

      @gomerx I just installed Arch twice in the past 24 hours (first time 32bit by accident. :/) I may be able to do it w/o the wiki next time. :)

      Arch has a way of letting you do things like that. ...and smiling the whole time. ;)

      @nybill Yep, and I think I’ll be installing it on my HTPC this weekend as well. It’ll be fun. :)

      I've failed to love Arch. I know it means I'm defective. I think my love of alternate window managers might be part of the problem.

      @gomerx What, all those alternate window managers aren’t available in Arch? ;)

      I find if you stray from the norm in Arch, things are much more difficult.

      @gomerx What exactly is the ‘norm’ for Arch. ;) Everything I need is in either the repos or the AUR. Shouldn’t have to do much.

      Apparently having another distro installed isn't normal because it makes the installer fall over. Also, LVM isn't normal. That's a problem.

      @gomerx While I’ve got no experience with LVM yet, I didn’t have any issue installing it on my Eee alongside Debian & Fedora. In the end, I left grub up to Debian though.

      Maybe they've fixed it. Last time I tried, the installer aborted when it found an existing grub install.
