@Hagar Argh, I don't have it anymore ( I cleaned out my old links) I used to have a link with that tutorial. It was difficult too, not really worth it to do.

DR DOS is IMO a very nice OS in its own way.  

PalmOS (no-ones even mentioned it yet, why?) is my favorite OS for what it does. Sketching, writing, gaming, organizer. It simply gets out of your way and Works.

I've always had bad experiences with Linux, but it's a nice OS - not great for desktop though IMNSHO.

Widnows Xp is actually a fairly nice OS, I still say its bloated and slow though - though on my 1.4GHz Vaio, not too slow, just slow in bursts sometimes.

Windows ME sucks, it just sucks, couldn't install my DSL set-up on it because I have a DVD-Rom drive. It's a documented problem too, stupid stupid thing.  Slower than 98se and no real advantage from what i've experienced (98se is a fair version of windows)

I've never had much experience with Macs, the OS9 and below (school used to have) always seemed very similiar to windows to me.

*Nixes are always to me business machines, for point of sale or network/web hosting, not home use.

Amiga OS is nice and friendly, from my rather limited experience.

Never used an Atari (other than 2600), anyone want to send me one?

Also I've not had any experience with WinCE and OS/2, both of which don't make me feel I'm missing anything. Palm is wonderful for handhelds, and OS/2 is not very up to date.
