    XP pro dual booting with 98se, but will be sticking redhat 9 on there as soon as I can get my greasy mits on it without spending 50 quid on a book for the priveledge. :eek:

    Anyone have a copy they could run me off?

    am specifically looking for the 3CD publishers edition, but the 2CD one would do at a push.

    Might start a little thread in wanted if anyone has it and wants to share. ;)

    Mac OS 10.3, on a TiBook 800MHz

    Whoever set the poll should know that there's a few varieties of Mac OS, so putting 'Mac' as the choice like only giving 'Windows' as the choice for Windroids.

    Panther (10.3) is very cool.

    running 98SE and XP Pro SP1 dual boot. On and IBM 600e, PII 366, 160Mb RAM.

    Use 98 most of the time TBH. XP is handy at times, but with the low specs just wont run divx for me except in 98.

    had linux, but put XP on for "the burd"

    For now 98/XP/Knoppix CD used to have 2K too - but needed the space and since I've set XP to CLASSIC the interface is more or less usable again.

    Once upon a time I had a floppy that had a boot menu for
    DOS 3.3 / 4 / 5 / 6

    must dig up my WinMini disk - win3.1 GUI on a floppy ...

    OS X 10.1.5, we students can't afford anything fancier :)


    It's slow-ish, but usable (most of the time).

    Balls, dogs, licking I'd imagine.

    personally though, due to space constraints on my desktop HD (only 20G in total), I tend to try out any new OS I want to sample on the laptop
