Preacher
I´m currently working on a bootable recovery CD and have run across a few things I just can´t seem to figure out. The first OS on that CD is going to be DOS with the DOS part of Partition Magic 8. 0.
Free Software from MS

If you go here: you can sign up for surveys, and some of which give you various software packages to choose from. I just finished up one (almost an hour and a half!) and it gave me various client OSs, Applications, X-Box game combos, and some other stuff.
Wow! Netscape doesn't suck anymore
Brian Frank
That might've sounded a bit sarcastic, but so far, it's pretty good. I got Netscape 7. 0 downloaded to try out for the heck of it, as I've been having trouble on another message board-and it turned out to be IE6 for some reason.
Work computers...
Spectre630
Sometimes I wonder what people do at work. Everyone who posts their work computer in their sigs seems to have a P3 or P4 and here I am stuck with a PII233 at work. :-p.

multi booting
pbuckne
You've got questions, we've got answers, or the commercial goes. I have a (wait for it) Dell PII 266 with 256 Meg of RAM and (count 'em) 2 WD Caviar 2. 1 Gig harddrives. I have been playing with booting multiple operating systems off of it, and have succeeded in getting no more than two off the ground at a time.

NET USE Return Code?
Atreyu
I've written a VB app that occasionally maps drives. Anybody know of a way to capture the failure of executing the NET USE command so that I may present an error message to the end user? It's possible that mapping the drive will fail, as when the drive is mapped the user is prompted for their domain password.
Distro-specific forums?
clutch
Any thoughts on having distro-specific forums? I am getting Debian right now via jigdo, and with the rapid crash-course I had to take to get it working the idea kinda just came to me. .

Fear of formatting...

Ok today at university I met this one guy who was having major issues with his computer, random BSOD's, lockups, freezes, crackling sound, I mean the works. Check this: His PC is a Pentium II 450 MHz with 256 MB of RAM and has like a 40 GB hard disk, the funny thing is that this machine initially was running Window ...

Trillian the best or what?
pbuckne
I have a kid sister who chats. A lot. She used to use yahoo and msn and icq and all the rest, and this was killing her PII 400. Anyway, we tripped across and it is some of the best lying (emulating, whatever) software I have seen, since it emulates all of the above (as I recall) plus a couple.
