I have bunch of partitions with various Linux distros, but that's just for
trying out hardware/software stuffs, most recently Wireless PCI cards.

NOTE:  If your wireless is not working in 2.6.32.x, then turn the power
management off!  I don't know why, because it works in 2.6.31.x.

Now, I'm playing with VirtualBox (www.virtualbox.org).  God, it's slow...
My cpu is single-core AMD64 2.4GHz (LE-1620, 45W), but it can't this slow.
