Ok, so the only thing I do with it is crunch, but it's great at it! And the best part is the scrolling terminal window. I can look back & see what genes it's been crunching when I'm not looking.

I also have it on a serperate box completely with no windows. Didn't want to deal with dual botting when I would never use the windows anyway.

Seriously peeps, if dual "botting" is a problem for you, then you can make a boot floppy and aviod the dual-boot LILO thing altogether. I did this years ago, the machine in question only ever booted into Windozer, when I wanted Linux, I just popped the floppy in (it usually sat in the drive) and reset the puter, woof! booted into Linux!

Doesn't LILO allow dual boot with auto selections?

I've ot System Commander with the following
Win98SE for games and stuff I just can't get in linux
WinME (gag) for tech support and general knowledge
Red Hat 7.2 main os

I might install BEOS, and QNX RTOS6, but I'm havin' fun with linux at the moment. Maybe when I get a bigger harddrive
