    Geeked out pretty hard this weekend!  Bit of a convoluted process but I’m happy with the way things are going.  Laptop is free to run Windows for vidya.  Raspberry Pi 3 does my dinky Linux server stuff. Re-partitioned the drive in the Windows laptop to have a bit more room for the break-in-case-of-emergency Linux partition…
