b3t4

Hi,

Sorry ppl if this dont belong here. Had no idea where else I should ask this
question.

Thing is that I am getting a new box over the weekend.
I want to try out some new OS'es but appart from
the ones I already know about ie Linux, FreeBSD, Im stumped as
to what else is out there. (lets leave windows out of this )

I was wondering if there were any other OS's I mite want to try?

Thanks for reading,
A.

I reckon that you should wait until you or I or both of us together write our own!!!!:D
Otherwise (I know you didn't want windows but...) Win ME is definately the VERY BEST os ever made.
Oh if I could only meet Bill himself to congratulate him on such a magnificent piece of work.;)

I asked around ere for ya freeBSD or Mandrake woz the best i could find for ya
Sorry

lol Fi, Il have to agree totally with you.
Im currently thinking of another little project so the OS will have to wait Im
afraid.

I can get mandrake in this place, so Ill be giving that a try.
Im getting FreeBSD over the weekend.

Partioning and installing here I come.

Typedef,
Thanks, shall do more research on them and see how it goes.

Rgrds,
