Have been trying different versions of Linux (present one Red hat 7.2) and this time I thought I would try Grub as the boot loader. A mistake as with Lilo you can uninstall it while restoring the previous MBR which is easier than getting 95 & 2000 booting properly again. Thought some of you might find this usefull.	Guest (0)

Funny that FSF's GNU project has provided most of the tools for Linux, and they are only now getting close to a full 'Gnu's Not Unix' kernel. One fanatic/enthusiast will always get results quicker than a committee, but Linux really came along at the right time to take off. But GNU will be worth looking at --- the compilers are remarkably good.	Guest (0)
