Afraid all machines I have at home are w2k.

I do have a version of linux that I keep meaning to install alongside w2k. Maybe some day.

Cool. Let me know how it goes. You can maybe talk me through the installation :D. I will be building another system next week, just won a CPU :D and FreeBSD could be the very OS to try on it. If not, Debian.

BTW - As we are including work machines, add NT4 (I hate it).

You really should upgrade to Human Brain 2.0 - much less core dumps.....

Wiped my Win98 disk and put Suse on...it was ugly at first so I wiped it.

Ended up going thru RH, then Mandrake, then QNX..none of them liked the HD geometry and it wasn't till after the QNX install I was able to get Suse installed correctly.

It's green and hideous and it missed some packages..but it was ultimately the only dist that would install on the machine.

Next time a Debian install...

THe Amiga Lives - still. A rabid bunch of fanatics! Now there is a way to load the Amiga OS onto X86 HW, and run native:
