| 72899 | 2002-08-21 06:04:00 | yay, another collector, ive finsihed the operating system one, but i can't be bothered making multi-boots, so i jsut keep the installs. Ive got windows 1 would you believe it? Thats even older then 3.0, and ive left out NT, as I got lost during the many versions of it. I do see your point on the level of support they must give, but maybe atleast it could be like the rest, and let you install anyway if you understand the risk and know how to use regedit and msconfig As a linux partition to actually use, what linux do you recommend? There are so many, but some are bigger known then others, what would be best? |

| 72900 | 2002-08-21 06:14:00 | Red Hat is what I like best, because it's what I use most. It's what has been on most Australian magazine cover CDs, since the English computer mags became too expensive for me. I've got a couple of boxes with an early Slackware. I never managed to get CorelLinux to load. I've had some of the European ones (not SuSe) going. People seem to like Mandrake. But all the distributions are Linux. They all work. |

| 72901 | 2002-08-21 06:17:00 | My apologies for doubting the merits of a serious collector. I started the reply before you're second post was posted. By the time I finished and posted my own it was seriously out of date. <Now... where's the nearest stamp site? ... have those 4 stamps increased in value from $500 20 years ago? Heads off into the ether to find out....> |

| 72903 | 2002-08-22 11:37:00 | Hi Jacob, If you are VERY serious about wanting to be able to run a large number of anti-virus programs you could use an expensive program like VMware (approx $500-$600). This allows you to run a number of different operating systems as by creating virtual machines. You need a reasonably large hard disk and RAM to get the benefits. VMware would allow you to have a number of virtual pc's running their own operating system and their own anti-virus programs. Perhaps that way you could have both the anti-virus collection and the operating system collection all running and on the same pc. If you're interested you can sign-up for a 30 day trial at http://www.vmware.com and see if it is any good for your purposes. |
