You know I mean 2.2.14 😛 Although I _did_ run the 2.1.x series a while ago because I wanted some of the developmental drivers… I haven’t messed with the code, though, if only because it’d screw up official patches and downloading the whole thing again over a modem isn’t fun… * * * ``You’re just an empty cage girl if you kill the bird.’’ – Tori Amos. ---

Wow, I thought I would have everyone beat. Enigmaone takes the prize, though. I’ve got pretty much everything he’s got – but I’ve also got Macs at work running OS 7.5.5, 8.1, 8.5, and 9 – and I’m working on getting a copy of Linux PPC running. ---

I know 2 people who purposely use the x.1.x kernels for bughunts and to experiment. I was getting ready to bow to your superiority, because there’s no way I’d do it. I’m not that smart. ---

Just picked up an sale-priced copy of VirtualPC with Red Hat Linux. Haven’t used it for much yet, but does browsing to this site using Netscape for Linux count? So anyway, I just counted and came to a pretty impressive conclusion if I’m allowed to count all the OS’s I have installed on my laptop, and which will boot and in which I can do complicated things like delete or rename a file 🙂 – Macintosh System 1.1 Macintosh System 2.0 Macintosh System 3.0 Macintosh System 4.0 Macintosh System 4.1 Macintosh System 6.0.8 Macintosh System 7.1 Macintosh System 7.5 MacOS 8.1 MacOS 8.6 Mac OS X Server 1.0 MS Windows 95 MS Windows NT Server 4.0 Sv Pk 1 Red Hat Linux v.?? (OK, I **don’t** know… AmigaOS Workbench 40.42 That’s 15 operating systems. (I can’t count the Palm Pilot emulator until I get it to run) * * * Disable Similes in this Post [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/your-os/15607.md?page=2)
