Changing lightbulbs the Whistler, Win98 and Linux way | |
|

When the lightbulb project popped its head up here last, just before Christmas, I had the primary objective of getting a games-friendly operating system onto the "legacy free" PC, and a secondary one of investigating multiple operating systems in this brave new environment. So on 23rd December into the back of the car went one USB CD burner, one Fujitsu-Siemens Jetson prototype, Red Hats 6.0 and 7.0, a full (non-bootable) Win98 SE CD, two Win2k Jetson recovery CDs, an NT 4.0 Jetson recovery CD, a copy of Partition Magic 6.0, and beta 1 of Whistler, the next version of Win2k. The ThinkPad went in too for back up and communications purposes (the Jetson is USB-only, and I don't yet have a USB modem), but we're talking rural France Telecom here at The Reg French premises, so you're often down to a 2.4kbit/s trickle charge, and large downloads aren't an option. | ||
