Actually, I'm running Windows 2003 Web Edition on my PMMX-166 laptop and it's quite usable. In fact, it is a tad faster than Windows 2000 Professional. Of course, Linux beats them both in the performance category.:)
I think the biggest determining factor in how fast Win2K3 runs on such a machine is not CPU speed but the ammount of RAM that is installed. The aforementioned lappy has 144 MB of EDO in it, which probably makes a huge difference.
In other news, it appears I've gone completely and utterly off topic. To redeem the value of this post somewhat: I don't think that any release of Windows newer than NT 4.0 would run very well on a PS2, considering its paltry (by windows standards) 32 megs of RAM.
Yo all. I am the guy that runs the CVS server kro was talking about. I -could- install Linux on this sys and run something from there, but I really don't want to.
So, any ideas for something like that? We really don't want to use Sourceforge or things like that, as we need to keep the code strictly between us. I'm not a programmer, so I could never make a change to the server code and have it compile and work.

365 comments on an article about a patent, and only one Bezos reference? I am truly disappointed.

So, how long until we see the "Monster Kill" virus begin to make the rounds?
Don't you find it a bit strange that MSNBC, which is at least half owned by Microsoft, is almost advocating Linux?
Anyway, I'm glad to hear it. I look forward to replacing my USB 1.1 hard drive housing with a USB 2.0 one.
