I have it running at work on a Dell Omniplex 5100 and it doesn't crash/hang/whatever. Doom II for Windows 95 is _very_ slick (though I had a palette problem once). Now compared to my fine NetBSD/i386 box, I think Win95 hugs, but I still think it is a decent improvement over 3.1. Why do we have to resort to Windows bashing? Are we not confident in our own position/OS? :-) -Andrew PS. I did nuke Win95 on Thursday though.. What can I say, I needed the space!! :-) -- ============================ Real 32bit multi-tasking UN*X System Andrew Gillham | TCP/IP,NFS,PPP,4.4BSD-lite,multi-user gillham@andrews.edu | i386,sparc,alpha,mac68k,amiga,others LAN/WAN/NW/UN*X specialist | ---> http://www.NetBSD.org <---
