Vectors are great to work with and easily editable... but they lack the freedom of colour and effects that bitmaps can acheive...   ;)

Considering they're making it 3D(the GUI), I think vector graphics are best. :)

98SE Rules!

XP is okay --- however it does handle ram better

hehe  :P I wonder who will be laughing when Microsoft discontinues critical updates to win98 at the end of this year  :o.

Is dual booting Linux/XP as easy as dualboot 98/XP?  ???

racx_00

AFAIK yes it is done the same way ;D, but easy :suffer:

WHAT!? :o

NO! IT ISN'T!

NEVER, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, INSTALL XP AFTER INSTALLING LINUX, UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING!

If you install Linux second, then it works fine. :P

P.S. XP will delete GRUB or LILO(the programs I use to load multiple OSs), or any similar program. Unless you want a lot of hassle, let XP's boot loader(right name?) have control of it.

do you have that problem if you partition ???

I'm not sure what you mean by that. :-\

Windows can't partition Linux, if that's what you mean.

I've never heard of anyone trying, or wanting, to use Fat32 or NTFS as their file system(in Linux). :P

I meant if you had Windows XP on one drive and Linux on another ;D

BTW, 98, 98SE and ME will continue to have critical updates until 30 June 2006 because these operating systems are still really popular in other countries.  Support continues for 98SE beyond the end of the year much to Gravity MX's sorrow.

Linux and XP on the same hardrive, will have the problem I mentioned.

Linux and XP on different hardrives, will not have the problem I mentioned.

Exception=Live Distros

racx_00

Yeah i was meaning on different drives ;D, i would never try to put two OS on one drive :-\

Hmm.

Now WHO is the sane one here? :P

Until I tried installing XP on the same hardrive as Linux, never had a problem.

Disc Druid=FUN :D

P.S. installing OSs with different flie systems on the same hardrive. isn't the most stable way of doing things either. :P

98SE on one drive
XP Pro. on another drive in my system and so far it is okay.   ;)

Hmm, I think I will stick with one operating system, one is more than enough for me and my malfunctioning computer!

BTW, Use Windows XP Professional (actually works quite well, as I said in another thread I can run all my DOS games on it, some of which wouldn't run on Windows ME  which has a DOS base ???)

I consider ME the most flawed of all the main Windows releases. :P

I find it hard to explain why, but if you've ever tried it, you'd know why. ;P

Shadowfax

Well it was my main operating system for over two years so I know its in's and out's quite well. My main complaint with it was the monumental slowness it took to start up. Dear Mike in wine dark heaven those startups; Stonehenge could have been built in the time it took for that damn thing to realise I actually wanted it to load up!

(basically it resulted in me shouting at my computer and threatening it with the "belly buster" masonry drill, yes, very sad I know...but I swear to mike that sometimes it did work!)
