Adventures of an High Elf Sorcerer

This is another killer combination :) Ever since shifting to a new campus and giving up my old machine, I was desperate to have a working linux on my machine. One attempt at installing it ended up in the bootsector of the harddrive getting corrupted and me losing valuable time which I had to make up by doing overtime.
