RE: How To Secure Your BIOS ?

ya its better..bcoz win 8 is still in preliminary stage and many people are facing device driver problems, same as we faced when win 7 was in test phase... Its better not to upgrade to win 8 now. When officially win 8 will be out as DVD in market as OS, and win 8 drivers for all devices will be available for download, then one should upgrade to Win 8, thats what i feel.
For test purpose now you can use Win 8, as everyone are very keen to have a feel about the new OS... :)

Linux is an open source OS and all work in IT industry including server maintenance is done on Linux platform, better install Linux and learn about it, it will help you a lot in future too :)

@SS you can go for Live CD/DVD of Ubuntu or Fedora. No installation needed.
Use live CD/DVD to check if you are comfortable with linux & install later when needed.

Boot into linux using virtualization (Use Sun virtual box)... u need the .iso image of the linux to be present on any drive of ur computer....
 
RE: How To Secure Your BIOS ?

I am using Suse linux 11.1 on virtualization.... and have Ubuntu linux and Win 7 home basic (genuine) installed on my lappy...
 
RE: How To Secure Your BIOS ?

@SS If your system is new & powerful , go for virtualbox otherwise use Live CD for Linux testing purpose...... :tup
 
RE: How To Secure Your BIOS ?

SS has a brand new lappy and a good config desktop i guess... Live cd takes a long time to boot sometimes and also if the cd is scratched etc then more problems and more load on the RAM to load the OS.... Go for virtualization...
