Kernel from 1999 or 2001, what's the diffrence? Both old... Thats the thing with any version of windows, it's already outdated even = = before it's released... Why no FreeBSD? I set up a freebsd box for my brother, using fluxbox and= = xfce4-panel, and a few "easy" applications (openoffice, xfe, firefox, ga= im = ect.) and he has no trouble using it, even though he's a "computer idiot= " = (well actually, he's an idiot, perdiod, hehe) freebsd is actually easyer then windows, it's a bit harder to setup for = = the avarage user, but once set up by someone who knows his stuff, it's = really easy to use...
