Here's a little tip on any os installation. Make sure your computer system is as
compatible as possible. I've run OS/2, Xenix, DOS and Winn 3.x on my previous computer. My current system runs Win 3.x, 95, NT, Linux and Solaris fine. Why?
I dug and researched compatible hardware, thus I have a good stable system.

The latest and greatest hardware is what I call: "The latest and untested."
Buy a leading edge Pentium II with all the cool stuff? I can almost guarantee
that you won't have even ONE IRQ free. DVD, 2 IRQ video cards, etc.
