If you have a 2.5v setting on your motherboard, a K6-III/400 (2x MB multiplier setting is translated to a 6x by the chip) and a V3-2000 PCI might prolong your PC's life for about $150 total.
I would like to see the distributions move to a year/release versioning system instead of the current point incremental version that they are all using now. So RedHat 6.1 would be RedHat 99R2, SuSE 6.2 would be SuSE 99R3 (or is it 2?), Caldera OpenLinux 2.3 would be Caldera OpenLinux 99R2, etc... At least it would be easier to pinpoint when a given release was made and would help eliminate the current versioning problems. Of course, distributions could tarnish this scheme by slightly post-dating their version numbers a bit too...
I was certain the hangup for the release of 6.1 was the new GNOME 1.50 and the big bugfix 2.2.13 kernel. Probably too much pressure to get something out, now that they are publicly traded.
The WPS is the biggest thing I miss about running OS/2. OS/2 rarely crashed, but had some occasional quirks with the Presentation Manager input queue that made rebooting necessary. I also never liked the way it changed font and icon sizes when you went above 800x600 resolution. But aside from that, OS/2 is great. I'd love to see something similar to the WPS for Linux though!
Not to mention that Wisconsin has kick-ass roads for bicycling. A gazillion paved country roads traveled most frequently by tractors and house-pulled Amish wagons. Paradise for any road cycling enthusiast (3 seasons of the year anyway).
That is what it is and after spending two years working there, I'm very happy to be back in the Midwest. It turns my CA friends' stomaches to see the house I got here in the Twin Cities area for $180k.:-)

Excellent!!!

Simple--they'll sell more PPC chips.

Provided of course that you have enough memory to avoid swapping... NT is very swapaholic with less than 64MB.
Oink! Oink!
