Things to do with USB Hard Disk
My hard disk was getting filled with downloads (Linux Images) and I went and bought a 1 Terra Bite Seagate USB hardisk.
My hard disk is only 150 GiB SATA (with second hard disk IDE is only 80 GiB) and it has two distributions.
SuSe and Peppermint on SATA and MEPIS on the IDE.
Peppermint is my work horse.
Nothing else to do with world cup football over and I decided to fill the disk with Linux images.
That was easy.
I used Gparted to partition it to 12 partitions, having re-sized the original one big NTFS partition.
Instead of installing a Single Linux distribution (my first reaction) I decided to use MultiSystem boot utility to mount several Linux distributions.
MultiSystem won't let you mount distributions on NTFS, so I formatted it with FAT 32 and mounted 10 or more distributions (except Knoppix, since it is bit finicky) and guess which one booted fast.
It was Peppermint 5.
Uses
1. It is my Multi-Live System booting platform.
2. It stores all my Linux images.
3. My personal data is very little and 16 GiB Pendrive is enough.
I wonder what am I going to do with the remaining space?
If the balance was sugary I would have used it for my dinner.
I think I am going to use it for few years.
This is why always say "small is beautiful", big is extra luggage to carry.
Beauty is it is light weight and small fit in, inside my front pocket.
It does not say how much it ways!
