I don't think a port of Calmira to win98 would have to be 16bit, but if it was it would still be faster and more stable than explorer, so that's reason enough. Calmira is easier to configure, as many people have commented. At the moment I'm happy running stilleto though, thank you to whoever reminded me of that. A "dos version of linux" is not quite what you think. Admittedly, many use the dos file system, but it's been altered to suit linux. basically the only difference is that LILO is not installed, but once you boot to linux you're not running DOS in any form. It's pure linux. I think perhaps win31 has reached its limits for most of us. I still install it on 386/486 boxes for friends but I don't have the motivation to play with it anymore. After all, you can now get a 266mhz network pc for $199 (ok $330 with monitor) from thinkNIC.com so there's not much point in running anything besides linux is there? -Changa http://changa.cjb.net ¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤ ________________________________________________________________ YOU'RE PAYING TOO MUCH FOR THE INTERNET!
