I've not run across anyone who ran OS/2 that didn't feel the same way about
its stability and functionality.  It's too bad the gurus at IBM decided to
abandon it and started pre-installing Windows on IBM machines.

As Linux distros go, Ubuntu is probably the best supported with an
informative forum and lots of ad ons.  However, since we are now running OS
X Leopard I really don't have the time nor desire to mess around with
Linux.

Last night I completed loading WinXP Home on our MacBook (using Boot Camp).
 That turned out to be a time consuming project.  Still haven't got
everything the way I would like.

Regards.
