This guy's crazy. Crazy. And has way too much time.

JustLinux member saikee has posted details of his system that boots 145 operating systems. That includes 3 versions of DOS, 5 versions of Windows, and 137 flavors of Linux. He created 152 partitions on 4 hard drives to get his system up and running. And he probably has the longest GRUB menu you've ever seen. We're guessing the slowest part of the boot process on this system is the amount of time it takes to find the operating system you want to use.

Yeah he probably started booting it up a few years ago and still waiting for checksum. 137 Flavors of Linux ? I didn't know there were so many, Yikes what happens with his 8 MS OS's when he gets around to do updates ? He would be all day, but at least most are not supported any more and talk about BSOD's ! I would guess he goes thru alot of worn out CTL-ALT-DEL keys !
