Well, right now it's all kind of moot. Everything is borked except
Windows. It's ok though because Windows is the OS that I need on this
computer most. Kubuntu was there as a backup in case my main computer
choked and openSUSE was for testing.

You do have a way with words, Billie O:-) . You have Kubuntu as your
backup in case your main computer goes belly-up -- but you have Kubuntu
installed on the same computer and the same HDD..... I guess that you
must have a contingency plan should the HDD, containing both Windows and
your Kubuntu, goes belly-up?

(As part of my contingency plan, for years I have installed all my HDDs
in cradles and I can therefore move them from computer to computer in
case one of the machines comes up with a puff of smoke from its innards
:-) .)

Actually, I have two desktops. My main computer is an Acer AMD quadcore. This one I hammer ever day. Call it my "production machine". The eMachine Intel dual core that I have been talking about, I use to primarily run Windows for those few things that I just can't find a way to do in Linux. I keep an updated, and set up, Kubunutu in case the Acer goes "belly-up". I would like to replace the dual core with another quad core, but being retired and independently broke makes that difficult at this time.

I also have a full size laptop [ Kubuntu/Windows ], an Asus net book [ Kubuntu only ] and a Dell Duo net book/tablet [ It's a little bigger and heavier than a tablet but has the functionality of both a net book and a tablet. Windows only at this time. ].

What I call my really important information is stored on an external hard drive AND another machine at home as a backup to my regular computers.
