RE: XP vs. W2000

<GRIN>

Oh C'mon... Don't you consider numerous daily reboots as "reasonable alternatives?"

I understand that if you use XP and the Internet your system is wide open to intrusion... so it turns out that MS is an "open systems" software company. :-)

It's dogma only when there are reasonable alternatives. ;)

How dogmatic of you Jared! Are you suffering windoze xenophobia?

On my laptop I've got VMWare with Win2k and RedHat. I confess with shame that win2k is my primary O/S and that I need windoze for MS Outlook. Also, I'm addicted to MS Office. Addiction as in dependence on unhealthy things. Sigh... I'm not Luke Skywalker... I've succombed to the dark side.

Forget it.

Get Suse 7.2 or 7.3, or the latest version of RedHat. If you want to run Windoze too, get VmWare or Win4Lin. Win4Lin works with win95/98.
Vmware is more flexible and will work with Win2k. I've found Win98 with Win4Lin to be more stable than Win98 by itself.
