TRS-80 emulators, Linux distributions

Yeah, Caldera Linux sells for about $50 with the promise of tech support. Don't believe it. Their e-mail tech support is a sorry joke. The responders don't KNOW anything, and most of the time they don't bother responding at all. Plus the distribution is based on Red Hat, which means *nothing* is where it belongs if you're used to BSDish unix. What this means is if you have older software (say, an older version of Elm) that is pre-redhat it probably won't compile at all. If I had known then what I know now about Caldera, I would have ordered the latest and greatest Slackware cd from Walnut Creek CDROMS, and gone from there. So I'm basically saying DON'T BOTHER WITH CALDERA LINUX. It's far overpriced and the only redeming feature, the tech support is all promise and no substance. I strongly recommend Slackware Linux. No support, but for 35 bucks you get 4 CDs of stuff, and a cool catalog with things like CDROMS of the project gutenburg texts. -- Jim Strickland jim(a)DIESPAMMERSCUMcalico.litterbox.com ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Vote Meadocrat!
