    Who's modding this thread? Why is everyone a troll for having a laugh? Anyway, everyone knows the fastest way to upgrade linux is to alter the version verision number in the source.

    Have you linux guys even given Windows XP a fair shot?

    My primary desktop machine, which runs Linux just fine, is a Pentium 166 with 128MB of RAM. Will Windows XP run OK on this, or would I have to go out and spend money to buy a new computer? (Having already spent money to buy Windows XP.)

    Oh yeah, I also have an original 3c905 Ethernet card (not 3c905B). Is that still supported in Windows XP? I ask because Windows 2000 no longer supports the 3c590, which is a similar (but even older) model.

    Time for a new job, dude. If recompiling development-branch kernels isn't billable time, you're in the wrong line of work.
