Subject: Recommendations for operating system
I think that this just squeaks in as being on topic.
I am looking for suggestions for an operating system for a PC, specs 75
MHZ Pentium, 16 MB Ram, 4 GB HD, currently running PC-DOS Ver 7. Original
IBM PC-DOS right out of the factory sealed box. I am thinking about
putting GEM on the machine, maybe CP/M-86. Thought about GEOS, but
rejected it, too closed.
Of COURSE this is on-topic. CPM? GEOS? Do you people who think this is off
topic or who are clamoring for an air-tight legal definition REALLY need to
split hairs that badly? Or is it just some psychological compulsion?
