Ken,
I have had good experience with Linux on this machine. Since I got my
ADSL connection today, I can now install via ethernet instead of modem
so I don't need to rely solely on the Debian CD with the old kernel
and packages, etc.
I figured I would consider other OS's if they offered better
performance or security, etc. I have Win95 and Plan9 on my other
partitions so I guess I like variety too or maybe change.
