Wal-Mart shipping PCs with Lindows preinstalled

[Brian Densmore]

Don't forget to separate your /home directories onto a separate
partition.
If you have not done this you will lose all of your personal files,
every
time you upgrade. It is possible to shrink your current partition and
create
a new one and this it is an easy step to copy everything over to the new
partition.
