Actually, I'm letting it go through a couple of identity crises at the moment. Though it's old(er) and unreliable I can say that testing different OS's and distributions are fun. So far:
- Windows ME. Final verdict: Absolute ****. Probably the worst version of Windows out there. Has something against Internet Explorer and is the main reason that I ditched that and went to Mozilla and later Firefox.
- Windows 2k. Final verdicht: n/a. Installer hangs due to hardware conflict. In general 2k isn't too bad. Really.
- freeBSD. Final verdict: Very decent. Free, stable and fast. As it's less standard, getting things to run can be a bit more of a problem. Flash in firefox is doable, so is getting support for realplayer. Nvidia drivers are available, and it runs freevo. The ports collection is brilliant.
- Ubuntu (based on debian). Final verdict: Nice if you want an instant workstation. Somehow confusing if you want anything else though. Don't have the patience to figure this one out.
- Next up: Gentoo. We'll see.
