But then, if they have done away with everything stupid in windows, it will probably go on an 8088 with 2 MB. :D

1230942 2011-09-14 05:24:00 Let me know if it removes all your MP3s and pictures.

I once had a Linux-thing-y do that to me.

I'm going to run it on a second hard drive so I doubt it will. You'll have to find someone brave enough to use it as there primary.

I'm loading it up in VirtualBox now... allocated it 20GB HDD and 1.5GB RAM. Let's see what happens... :punk

Edit :lol: crashing, a lot of crashing... it's not very happy at all haha.
