First Post

Recently I decided to dive into the world of Linux…Linux Mint to be exact.

I had a 160GB 2.5” hard drive laying around, so I purchased a portable enclosure so I could try out Linux without interfering with my Windows 7 install, boot loader, hard drive and so on.

What is great about the set-up is that all I have to do is plug in the USB connector for the portable hard drive and boot into Linux.
When I want to go back into Windows, I simply restart and make sure the hard drive is unplugged!

Although I will do my best to share tips and tricks I learn along the way, it’s probably a good idea to look to other sources as I am still a Linux newbie.

Despite delving into the world of Linux, this doesn’t mean I’ve turned my back on Windows. I still love my Windows 7 set-up. It runs well and I seldom have issues.

Any picture, video or tip I post here will have been done completely within Linux.

Any video related to Linux will be posted on my Youtube account; rexrydr

Oh, and if you’ve read something similar to this a few days ago, yes it was probably by me on my other tumblr account.
