Due to some circumstances i have now a extra pentium dual core.
I was considering making a Linux box, but if it works fine i'll consider using it as my main box(and to ensure my apps run on linux too) and using this box for web/entertainment.
However there some apps which may not work(the list is incomplete, but these are most important):
Digital Mars C Compiler (used often)
ImgBurn(needs wine)
Irfanview(needs Wine)
Notepad2(whoever tries to tell me about vi*m or e*macs again will ignored:there is /e*macs|vi*m/ text filter on the shiichan filter i use)
(I'll consider using something like geany/gedit if it can be customized to plain,minimum plugin look like like notepad2:however the main advantage of notepad2 is low memory use and high speed)
2xExplorer(all Linux alternatives are quite slow(except some console tree/folder listers) and don't compare to a 500kb app which can load and display 50k files at once graphically)
Pixia(something like GIMP is too bloated and interface is too painful to work around)
Some of console emulators are windows only, but i'll check whats available.
Neuro Programmer 3
Wingroove(quality midi synth)
Teleport Pro(can be replaced by wget functionally)
Keynote(text database app)
Arena(chess gui)
there is 75gb space on the HD, so no bloatware.
