Remember, you’re unique – just like everybody else.

Greetings! I stumbled across your tutorial on dual boot partitions http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/partitioning

One point of confusion: I would like to set up a Shared Data /home partition. The question is, how would I get Windows to save my settings on that partition? And how would I tell Ubuntu to save settings and data there? Same goes for the swap partition (which I guess is automatic, but if I were to fuss with it, how would either OS know which partition was intended for swap??). I’m missing an important piece of the puzzle … Thanks for any pointers!

So true :)

Curiosity is a great thing. Sure, it’s the norm to wear boots in winter, but how would it be to wear flip-flops all year long? The funny thing about nonconformity is, it’s often in groups, like misanthropes So ultimately, their nonconformity is merely conforming to different standards.

it is my experience that people who proudly declare they are non-conformists nearly universally aren’t.

non-conformity or conformity are situational choices, not lifestyles. We do what we like, and we can come up with examples in which one or the other is bad or good. Neither is always one or the other, but it does bug me when people label themselves non-conformists… as if the only value is in bucking the trend, even when the trend is positive.
