| 131984 | 2003-03-30 02:04:00 | Main Computer: 1 * WD800JB (80gig) - 50gig for windows and other stuff and 24.5 gig for other stuff and for easy formatting. Secondary Computer: Seagate Barracuda IV 60GB - currently has Windows 98SE, 2000 Pro and XP Pro tripple booting and is about to have Windows Server 2003 (Enterprise Edition) RC2 installed on it as well. The second computer did have linux installed on it the other week but then I got my office2003 beta 2 kit in the mail :D |

| 131987 | 2003-03-30 03:15:00 | I don't think so. It costs money to buy LindowsOS and so I don't think I am allowed to copy it and give it to someone else. Most of the operating system is under the GPL but not all of it (Click-N-Run, Netscape, the installer, etc.). | flyer590 (2523) | ||
| 131988 | 2003-03-30 03:55:00 | I'm taking a reverse pride attitude here with my 1.6Gb 5yr old IBM. AND its got over 500megs free. Lean and mean is the motto. |

I remember when I had an dx 100 and was disappointed i couldn't afford a 1.2 gig and had to settle for an 810 mb but was consoled by the salesman " it will take a while to fill that up" guess I've overcompensated |

Interesting - I read somewhere that although they're allowed to charge for it, they can't stop people from legally copying and distributing it. Mike. |

I think that because it has been purchased you now have the right to change and manipulate and distribute the OS in any way you deem fit. At least this is how every other distribution works. They all started from the one copy made by the Allmighty One - exported code derived from UNIX and played with till they could play no more.
