Re: Linux/WindowsNT

[Paul Johnson]

If you get OpenNT working, I'd like to know. I installed it and the
x server is fine, but it doesn't run linux applications very well. I
tried to compile a swarm program --static and it didn't run at all.
If you can get it to go, I'd like to know more about how.

After the free 30 days, OpenNT gets kinda pricey too.
