Well I've installed Windows 98 on my laptop. I found a PCMCIA card at work that no one seems to be using, and the problem is that no matter what distribution I try I cannot get the card to work. The driver for the card is listed on the hardware list, but when I actually get it on a linux system the driver will not load. Anyway, I have too many machines running Linux, so if one runs this OS it is'nt that bad. Anyway, I am kinda enjoying sitting in bed, and blogging from the laptop, and I guess that is what matters. Use what makes you more productive. Its an old laptop, so its not like I can get much programming done on this anyway.
