    Do you have multiple OS's?

    Do you have more than 1 os? If so, please specify.
    I put this in after hours, because Windows isn't exactly all OS's...
    I have windows XP Pro Service Pack 2 and 2000 Pro Service Pack 4.
    Virtual machines, emulators, and CD-ROM OS's, (Knoppix), count.

    One Mandrake 10 only (this machine), one win98, one dual boot win98/Mandrake 9.2, laptop with separate hard drives for win98, ME, Mandrake 9.2 and DOS/win3.11. You oughtta see win3.11 run on a P-II 266 w/96MB RAM...hehe...I figured why not put that 350MB laptop drive to good use, makes a great machine for older DOS games on a road trip, 2 minutes to pop in a Linux or Win9x drive and a PCMCIA modem and have Internet access... Also occasionally use Knoppix, Damn Small Linux, Feather Linux, Puppy Linux, and a couple of things like the Ultimate Boot CD with Linux GUI OS and text mode utilities interface.
    Why do I drive way out here to see the wildlife when all the animals live in town?

    I had a triple boot, XP pro on primary HDD, SuSe and Mandrake on second HDD. But I wiped the second drive awhile back and haven't gotten around to reinstalling yet. I will soon though.

    Also use Knoppix and most recently SuSe Live on DVD. Hoping to try out Mepis soon.

    I only have one dual-boot at this time that's 98SE and XP SP2. I plan on another of ME (it was cheap $35 att) and XPSP2 soon.. Plus a couple other pc's at places (band rehearsal) I occasionally need to print or browse a little for things such as lyrics.

    This doesn't count my laptop with 98 and of course a Knoppix cd floating around between any pc of my choosing... I also hope to try a version of Linux one day... well maybe two
    There's no place like 127.0.0.1
