Look at this number sequence:

4m
8m
32m
see how quickly it goes up? They are the memory requirements for windows. dos

Winme is unfixable. If you accidently lose the drivers for the video card you
cant fix it from dos. Dos does nothing. You cant reboot in dos, you cant even

Whistler is not an update to ME, but an upgraded version of Win2k.As far a
stability goes,I have a NT server at work wich has been up for almost 6
months,and a Win2k that was up for 7 until I rebooted for the hell of it,not

Some of your favorite's from the past will not run correctly. It's best
to create another partition and install an older OS. Or, move to Linux.

Actually, 'Whistler' is based on Windows 2000 and (according

believe it when I see it.)
On the plus side, it will probabally be the most stable

One more time:
I want to be able to select a rectangle full of files and drag the
lot to another directory using only the mouse. I want to be able to
copy with the right mb, place with the left mb, and paste with the

Here's a quick rule of thumb, don't install every
package, especially ones that you don't know or
specifically need, you could be creating security
holes.
Go look around for security documents, it'll show you
things that you need and don't need. Also,
mandrake7.1 (and 7.2) has a security level f
guard against
human failure.
hmm...
