Operating Systems (OS)?

I'v run most of the Windows from 95 to XP Home (second pacage thing). My favorite of the Microsoft was Win98 Second edition. My "all in one motherboard" had no problems with it. XP is always in my face, "look at this!" "Hay over here!" "Auto Update!" Drives me mad! But best of all 98 is almost Virus imune now.

I miss Aymee. I think the motherboard died from to much handling. I tryed to get it to run out of a metal suitcase. I miss you Aymee!

I prefure Mac myself but I use them vary rarely because I don't deside what computer we are buying

Linex? Good Idea, but not as user freindly at the begining. I would have kept it if I hadn't have run out of disk space and found my Mother board drivers. Linix didn't alow me to open a folder or even delet anything beacuse "No disk space."

I heard that BeOS was a very stabel responsive and OpenSource as you can get! But They went out of bussiness. Yellow Tab has picked up BeOS, but it seems that they are slowling changing it to anouther Linex. 15 sec boot time! Thats the max. The new BeOS (Yellow Tab's Zeta) takes up to 25! They haven't been fixing the old stuff either, adding new stuff. I have never acctualy run BeOS, but I'd give it a try if I didn't have dailup.

BeOS Versions 1-5 + the unreleased Dano are the ruminence of BeOS Inc. BeOS Zeta is Yellow Tab's aproch. BlueEyedOS is a Linex version. BeBits... I don't know what these guys are doing with it.

I don't know what you mean, but 90% of my games don't run on XP for some reason and I'm read to kill it! Layer Section! I'l play you again!

*snicker*

Last I checked Wine didn't work worth a shit. Maybe if you wanna play Solitaire or run Windows Calculator. I could never get anything major to work with Wine though, not Premiere, Paint Shop, Photoshop, After Effects, Bryce, etc, etc. I even tried WineX, still wouldn't work.

How did you partition your drive? I'v been trying, but coming up empty handed. I want to either partition my drive 7 fold (8 if you include the partition for the extra 3 partition instructions), or have 4 partitions on 1 drive and 3 on another. Extream? Yes. I want to get 3 operating systems and ghost each one. I don't think I could fit an entire OS partition on one Bootable CD, so Partion is what I'm thinking.
If there is a similar way, Please tell me!

I want to know how you did your partitions. I tryed and failed. I would like either 7 Partitions (8 for the extra partition instructions) or 2 drive with 4 and 3 partitions. 3 operating systems, 3 ghosts, 1 section for files. If there is an easyer way than making so many partitions or a way to get bootable CDs for the ghosts, Please tell me.

I don't know how his/her partition setup is, but mine looks like this from a mount-point perspective:

/
/usr
/var
/home
/media
/mnt/winxp

However, the ability to boot Windows is almost entirely orthogonal of partition setup. The only thing that could really mess up dual-boot these days is if you erased the Windows partition entirely.

If you're using GRUB (if you're not, I highly recommend that you do, unless you have some really good reason not to) it's very easy: you just tell GRUB where the Windows partition is and instruct it to pass control to the Windows bootloader with the command chainloader +1.

WINE's actually getting rather far along. The last time I checked out its source and compiled it, I was able to run Flash 5 rather easily. WINE configuration is still something of a pain -- and, of course, without proper configuration, WINE of course will not function.

I don't have a need to emulate Windows applications, though, so I don't use WINE all that often :P

Have you tried running them in compatibility modes for previous versions of Windows (if they worked on those)?

I'm runing an Hacked XP on this one, but in this house, there is just about every Microsoft OS ever created on quite a few machines and hard drives.
