This is not a guide. This is just some information on how I configure all of my different computers. It primary serves as a record to see what I have installed and where.
This is my primary computer for testing, gaming, development and all other purposes. I was running multiple server applications, however sinc I purchased a separate server for that, I no longer do that. Some things to note (*) marks my primary operating systems. Also, for my Linux partitions I avoid using LVM (Logical Volume Management). While this might be convenient for a single operating system, I find it difficult when booting multiple operating systems and sharing data.
With the recent advancements in filesystem drivers, I can read/write EXT partitions in Windows and read/write NTFS partitions in Linux.
