or do a dastardly triple boot with 98se, 2k, and Linux (what I'm planning on doing sometime next week).

Except there's no support for 98se anymore...oh, well...maybe use ME with a good memory manager...

heh, 40 gb isn't hardly enough for 4 OSes...guess I'd better spring for an extra 80gb.

BTW, I'm going to use Mandrake Linux 9 beta 3 (because I already have burned on CD).  Unless someone has a better suggestion?

I definitely recommend debian, gentoo or sorcerer than any other linux version... (well maybe not all...)

The reason being the update style. For things like redhat, mandrake, slackware etc. you have to go through update hell each time a new kernel is released or a major change is implemented...

With debian you just click "update" and go get a coffee and check it occasionally. It's that simple.

So actually I recommend debian of those three 'cause it's probably the most widely supported.

(by the way I have 3 OSs on this 8 gig drive :p)

Is there somewhere I can get the full CD without ordering it?  The Debian site only has the minimalist downloadable ISO.

I haven't seen debian being sold in stores but I live in a relatively small city so. You'd probably have to order or downlaod though.

Thanks for the info

and sorry I didn't mean to question you reliability
I just wanted to be sure that's all... :p

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

let's pick this list apart....

3ds - use an emulator
renegade - use an emulator
photoshope - switch to gimp :p
fs2 - emulator (and it's being converted...)
and so on.

OR
you could use lindoes instead, or you could even run linux on top of winxp.
