the best part of millenium running with ie5.5 is the constant "explorer.exe has caused an error in Kernel32.dll and must be shut down"

isn't that great when you're browsing??   ;)

I know this wasn't an option but hook him up with
Winblowz NT4.0 Workstation SP6 It's the sam kernel and patchlevel as Win2K, is a smaller install, is *fully* "Configurable" (figure that one out folks), and will run faster than win2k and crash about as much.....

Jesus, that was too much information....especially for a debian geek....*sigh*  :rolleyes:
HiyaAAAA!!!!!! Something smellls!

i use windows ME for my games. It was a rushed stopgap before they dropped dos, they didn't drop dos, they locked it out. But i have managed to get it stable! DOS is easily accessable with a boot disk, and if i wanted i imagine i could add it to my boot menu.
It seems to run all the newest games just dandy, i am a pretty big gamer.
ut it took me a while, lots of registry changes and stuff, because i had to turn off a lot of shit basicly.
I dunno about you but DOS support is pretty important to me, i have many old games.

To the person asking about other spyware keys in the registry.  Basically you should delete *all* the keys under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.  Any one of them can be used for spying.

Oh yes, I deleted them all.  Then I installed RedHat and the system has run great ever since. No spying at all.

sorry, but you can't have your cake and eat it i suspect.

If he wants no phoning home, he can use linux all the time. quite frankly, if you deal with hot things, you'll get burned, or whatever that saying is...
