Bump.

It's about 12 the next day and it still hasn't been released. I think it's coming a bit late.

eOS is based on the LTS versions of Ubuntu, meaning that the upcoming "Freya" release (based on Ubuntu 14.04) will be supported by the Ubuntu community until 2019. #! is based on Debian. It's just Debian with openbox. That's it.

eOS has it's own collection of software made specifically for eOS. It's UI is very similar to that of OS X. It is pretty much Ubuntu with nothing installed but an exclusive DE and the bare essentials. It's nowhere near as bloated as Ubuntu.

And that is why Elementary OS exists. People liked the idea of a Linux OS having a ton of it's own exclusive software, but didn't like Unity for obvious reasons. And Ubuntu is super loving bloated.

If they're on seperate hard drives, then you don't even need to configure a bootloader for a dual boot. Just choose the device you want to boot from in the bios.

When you install, there should be an option to choose the hard drive you want to install to. When you get there, just choose the 500GB one. Then you should be set.
