i would recommend from a linux prompt running as root
cat /bin/* > /dev/<---- insert the partation that windbloze is one, owell, most probably wont get it
as for the xpiss replace ment, i would go with redhat 7.3, becuase alot of stuff is support by defualt and out of box. if you are feeling like an adventure go with silicon graphics version of the redhat 7.3 installer/*i didn't know linux could runn that fast */, on the side note, y the hell are linux distros still using ext2 and ext3 when sgi put xfs under the gpl, that just don't make sense
