Well lets just put it this way, I just right now tryed it. It takes only minutes to get it installed in Vmware and it is the exact way you would instal Windows XP. EXACTLY! Man it is very nice, of course it has glitches though like any program. For some reason i can not get a web browser installed in it... So i can not connect to the web. :/

Mr Rat:
Is that a recommendation or not? I have a very old toshiba laptop to play around with, should I try installing this OS? Just to see what happens? Oh wow I forgot I have a very old compaq with Win95 loaded on it too, I could try it on. I'm glad I decided to look at the threads tonight.

Im trying it sometime this week on a compag 400mhz system

Then I guess once again I will forgo suze and try that OS on my compaq. It's getting to be winter so i'm gonna have more time on my hands. I hate winter. Why do you suppose Rat cannot get it on line? I wonder if it has an internet connection wizard? Yeah, probably not. What about driver for a modem or nic? Too many questions

Driver most likely and linux has no wizards attached. Can you say compile..

Yeah Im not too sure about the operating system. Though it is an exact replica of Windows... Very very similiar... It is a non expensive alternative! I can tell you that.... Though I never really got into messing with it... I move onto so many different things, that keeps me addicted to this dratted computer. Lets see here, check out a little programming like C++, Python, Ruby, Java, HTML, COBOL, VB.NET, and probably a few others. I need to just stick to learning one, but I eassily get distracted and end of to moving to something else!
