I think one of the reasons people run win95 on a p2 is that well, it's
actually supported, i mean sure linux is, but since when could you go into
bestbuy and find something made for linux?

and some people like to play games, since when were all these games
available for linux? from what it seems we have and more coming out. one
game called golgotha is coming out by a company called crack dot com, the
same people who made abuse for linux. golgotha is supposed to be released by
redhat so i heard.

but yeah if i was running some sort of buisness, i'd defiantly not run Win95
or NT, it's funny, i have no idea why, but my ISP ics runs off Windows NT,
heh. and no, it's no this isp isn't slow at all, one of the fastest i've
been with. of course i think they have like 10 t1's and a t3 coming this
summer.
