I kinda liked BeOS before it got killed.

Boot time < 30sec, for starters.

It kept being low on drivers & useful apps, though. And, like I said, it got killed. (Owner was bought by someone with zero interest in a quality os for PC and Mac.)

Shows the danger of closed source.

BeOS is a BINARY PACKAGE, which means it's CLOSED SOURCE

Win2K kicks your ass.

Oh, so that's why Win2k wasn't able to read my new 160G hard drive and I had to install Linux on it to access all of it and also not have the partition table phuxx0rd?

Some two years ago, that was the final straw for me. I left the window for the pengun and haven't looked back. Only real problem has been some formats that have been explicitly forbidden to work with non-Redmond (a clear anti-trust case right there, if the justice system hadn't been bought)...

Yes, that's exactly why, It's so awesome it rejects your cheap, most likely made in China, hardware.

It's so awesome it rejects your newer HDD cos it's got too much.
Fixed.

What happened back then, was I bought a new hard drive for my existing PC. Period. And that hard drive was >128G, i.e. too big for Lose2k to handle. It could only see the first 128G, and it phuxx0rd the partition table.

Linux handled the PC just fine, HDD and all, and hasn't even hiccuped in the over two years since. Only thing added is a RAM chip, only thing replaced is the CDRW for a DVDRW. Only thing removed is Windows.

Ever heard of DIMM? That counts as one chip (atleast AFIAC), since it's one unit to handle. Buy one DIMM, install one DIMM. If need be, replace one DIMM (even if only one of the physical chips soldered on the board is faulty). Ergo (semantically) one chip.

Fail... I've been using my 200 GB HD for long.
