In the sense that Linux is Unix, it does go back 30 years or more.

In the history of Windows there is some Linux - about 30 years ago or so.
It's a long and involved story, not suited for this mailing list.

I use Linux and MS Windows XP and Vista here in the shack with a KVM
switch. I have never used Windoze, but I see some hams claim they know
about it.
Linux can be fairly easy to reload, but that is only if it supports your

Products such as Image for Windows/Image for Linux will let you create
an image of your disk on CD/DVD/Network Drive. If your drive crashes
or just gets really trashed with a virus you can do a "bare metal
restore" to a new drive. No reinstallation needed for Windows, Linux,
or any of your appl
rs to create. That's a lot of data even
for a memory stick and I dread the day I have to use them.

Just keep a memory stick with a Windows installation. These are now so cheap
they make a good solution for netbook-portable.

I had a PC problem last night and Windows would not load. I was able to get on
the Internet and active in digital modes within a few short minutes by booting
a CD that contained Fldigi via Linux. This simple way of getting on the air
