- Here at The House, my roommate and I have a machine that has never really
- seen DOS. We had dos on it just long enough to install WinNT. Several
- hours later we decided that we didn't like NT, so we then installed OS/2
- 2.1 beta. Up until yesterday, Linux and OS/2 were co-existing nicely.
- Yesterday, we converted it all to Linux. We are going to try 386BSD next,
- after we put Linux through some toruture tests.
-
- This is all on a spare 386sx that we cobbled together from some spare parts
- I and some other people had lying around.
