ta, I'll check it out... I've got investment in W2k apps (or I wouldn't be with Microsloth now!); will it run a shell, or is dual boot going to be the solution?
I currently run a non-web-connected box for most work, set up for speed (ie fast (tiered) hdd configuration, low security); and a web box that is ultimately sacrificable. It's be nice to have a similar level of security, workstation performance, and the convenience of a single system!
