RE: [Cxtable-devel] Wow....

[Williams, D. <DAV...@ca...>]

Yeah... My wife is still used to Windows... but I might wipe it clean and put 98 on it instead, with a dual boot...

At this point, if I used a 'rescue' disk, I could probably install LILO in the MBR and point to the hdb, right?  Or does Linux need to be on hda?  ((I attached the old drive...  I imagine though, it being set up for being on hda2, it would take some fixing to make it work...  Or I could wipe the 15 gig hard-drive clean once I've transferred all the crap, and boot that way....

Anyway... I was both nauseus and intrigued by XP...

Congrats on the new Athlon!  I just blew away XP a couple of days ago on
my 866 to get Linux on it instead.  I have never heard of any issues
with Linux and the Athlon chipset, but I don't know how well it will
interact with XP.  I haven't dual booted in years.

I do know that Cygwin works with XP and I ran in that environment for a
few weeks.  I know that JDK 1.4 beta 3 runs "ok" but not perfectly on
XP, and that is the only JDK revision I have used in that environment. 
I expect that 1.3.X would be fine as well.
