- Please don't tell my drive (Maxtor XT-8380S). It has been
- happy with Linux since version 0.11. Having used Venix,
- Xenix and Unix (Interactive and Esix) on PC's I believe Linux
- gives me best hardware support.

- lack of commercial software like accounting software
- or databases like Oracle. And the very premature Dos
