@quack: Good point -- I like thepurplepixel's plan for tag synonyms on these, though I think you'll have a hard time keeping [dual-boot] out of the system if they're merged now. Also, LOL -- I thought I was the only one who was taught the alligator method for > and <.

@thepurplepixel: funny, last i checked, 2 > 1. remember, the alligator eats the bigger number first.

| May 9, 2010 at 17:19 | comment | added | quack quixote | @Jon: you're correct that that's what those mean. but for categorization purposes, questions that apply to 2 OS's generally get answers that also apply to 3+ OS's. there's no need for 2 separate categories. | |

I think that when the tag auto-suggestor (or whatever it's designed to be) comes out, [dual-boot] should be auto-corrected to [multi-boot] so users don't have to think about it. For now, I'd support the moving of [dual-boot] to [multi-boot]. The prefix multi- means more than one, and dual- means two. Last time I checked, 2 < 1. My 2¢

Is it possible that [multi-boot] and [dual-boot] should be kept separated? To me, [multi-boot] refers to 3+ bootable OSes. [dual-boot] is by far more common both in term and function. There are only 3 questions tagged with both, so it may be a pretty quick cleanup.
