Ubuntu keeps trying to fuck up my MBR by adding that gayass GNU GRUB boot loader to my computer. I'm sick and tired of these Linux distros using this shitty boot loader, I'd rather use Windows's default one. Now, everytime I install another Linux distro I have to find a way to stop it from writing to my Master Boot Record. Last time I deleted a partition with Linux on it, my computer just fucked itself. I had to risk everything and "fixmbr".

PROTIP: If you're ever going to install a Linux distro, make sure to find a way to install it so that doesn't write to your MBR.

You talk about OS and distros like I talk about PHP: I don't know what the hell you're talking about.

Okay, maybe I didn't word it right. PHP isn't that hard to understand, I guess ...

What login script did you use?

Because it's pure shit, you should at least add a "Posted by:" thing when you add an article.

I didn't.
Really?

It takes forever to make a good script, and if you really did then it's probably easily hackable without sessions or anything ...

People have gotten it to work with OS's on other partitions, so it works. It's what I use now.

Not much, really. I prefer Windows's bootloader.
