Which Distro, Which Partition?

I've gone old school and use an actual spiral bound notebook and my p***-poor handwriting.

I like hand-written notes and notebooks, too, and have a fair amount of them, stashed everywhere. But often with this PC stuff, it gets to be a PITA, like this typical spec on a 2015 build:

ASUS ATX DDR3 2600 LGA 1150 Motherboards H97-PLUS

http://www.amazon.com/ASUS-DDR3-2600.../dp/B00K2R6C9Y
Numbers:
S/N.: ECM0AJ068238; Revision: 2.01; Part No.:90MB0IN0-M0AAY5; came with BIOS 2306 (located as last 4 digits of the thin white bar code strip at top right of MB when viewed with I/O ports to the left)

Thankfully, the only PITAs I've had have been a couple of MBs that make UEFI setup a bit more difficult than it should be, but I've managed.

jglen, actually, The "PITA" I was referring to is trying to hand-write (as opposed to typing/word-processing) a note like I quoted, a technical MB spec. That ASUS motherboard has one of the best UEFI interfaces on the market!

I've gone old school and use an actual spiral bound notebook and my p***-poor handwriting. I've lost too many computer-based files over the years

For the last several years I've kept my login names and passwords on some 8x11 papers, stabled together and hand written on the front and back of each page. Those pages started out as a txt document but after I printed it out the first time I began making changes on the pages and not in the txt file. When ever I change or add a tuple I tell myself that I'll remember that combo. I rarely do. The problem is that I now can't read some of my names or passwords. It's a real mess, but I'm too lazy to use a password manager. In all of that mess there are only a few names and passwords that are significant: my Acer login, wifi, bank, Kubuntuforums, electric, Internet, health insurance, car insurance, property insurance, hospital, doctor and medicare. 12 of them..

That's what speed reading gets me these days. oops!

My handwriting is getting worse. Can't speed write, either. Becomes crypto!
