Eh <cough> let us not forget OS/2 <s>. We Warp users
have bashed Windose longer than those other products
have been around <g>. Still, I am thinking of putting at
least Red Hat on a drive to see what all the fuss is about.
My 760CD originally sold with OS/2 on it, and dual booted
into DOS/Sin, eh Win3.1 Worked great then, and does now.
That model finally went over to Win95, but it is not so easy
to load, and crashes a lot, takes more memory to make it
go, and generally is a PITB. I would give a pretty penny
for one of the elusive OS/2 recovery CD's for the 760CD.
I only use Win95 OSR2 on my TP760XL so as to be able
to easily communicate with the NT servers at work. (By the
way, those servers have to be taken down for maintenance
Every Week!) If I could figure a way to do the NetBui thing
in Warp, I'd go back in a blink. Particularly now that it's
kernel is newly brought up to the moment. As it is , I content
myself with a Warp desktop as my main home machine.
Generally, I find these discussions on the various OS's
of interest, as I enjoy tinkering with my TP's and different
software.
