Ooooo, did the Linux thing for a while, but found it wasn't really useful once I stopped dabbling in programming.  I still use 98, and until it's completely outdated, I'll move to something else besides XP  

I do understand what you mean, those damn monopolies

It's what I used a while back, before I got my dual-boot working error-free... saves a lot of hassle  

[Fineus]

Well, so long as Windows doesn't suddenly go terribly  bad for now reason - I'll stick with it. It may have faults but at least I know it pretty much inside out by now.

That can be his first job. Make a lunix version of Freepace.

[The Avenger]

Win98 is best (could see where it was going with ME and 2000 - I can handle crashes but I carn't hadle no support!!!)

What is your Video Card?

(The ATI Radeons are only supported by XFree86 4.1.0 with the DRI addon)

I would throw away the winmodem, but all the stores around here sell are windmodems or the outragously high-priced 3-com modems. (sorry, I'm not paying $99 for a frelling modem!)

btw, my vid card is a 3D Prophet 4500 (Kyro-2 based) and the only drivers I've seen are for Windows.

I would probably find a XFree86 4.1.0 DRI X Server for it


anyway, this is the last computer in my house with windows.  Windows will stick around till 2002 in here at the soonest conversion.. I need those all important drivers, and I still like my games.

[Kazan]

well the Konqueror webbrowser is pretty cool  

[Turnsky]

Kazan, the best advice i can give you is to just put up with windows, and just describe it an "necessary evil"

[Kazan]

nothing is a a required thing.. microsoft is getting kicked out of my house

[Stryke 9]

Good goin' man.

I would kick my Windows stuff, but seeing how I have neither bought one of Microsoft's programs nor used their tech support in years, I fail to see the point- Linux is just not gonna happen, OS/2 most likely won't work (I am researching that...), and there are damn few other ones. I r3ealize Dos and Windows suck, but I've gotten so used to them I expect a few HD crashes a day...

My suggestion though, you wanna make a point and annoy Microsoft, don't just kick their stuff, support a rival company- that's the reason I'd ger OS/2, if I do...

I think I got lucky, Windows rarely crashes on me....

[Stryke 9]

Do you use Linux instead or something?  

[The Avenger]

heres something you could do to semi remove micro****e from your comp is create your own explorer.exe that way you replace the core of the microsoft operating system except for the dam kernal

[Kazan]

Linux is happening, market share continues to increase and the statics show a heavy invasion into the desktop market

[jonskowitz]

GO LINUX!!!  Force that Gates character to release something worthwhile...  

------------------
I told you that It would be done by November, well, mostly anyway...
