Caldera OpenLinux runs on its own system and have been running it for 1 1/2 years now. Slackware 3.5 runs on a UMSDOS file system along side Win98 (FAT32) 1 11 gig partition. I run Win98 only because of the software availability, and I am not knowledgeable enough to write my own software, or have the time to write my own. Another reason why I choose to run the different OS's because I don't accept limitations. My interest in gaming is too high to dump the Windows OS. Put the robustness of FreeBSD and the software availability of Win and the customizations of X and you got one heck of an OS... too bad its never been done.
