It's a great OS for beginners, and the german language support (important here in Germany) is acceptable. It runs on most hardware I've tried it, and it runs sufficiently fast. Still I would not use it as my desktop system because my individual preferences do not align with the project goals. :-) > PureDarwin, No. > GhostBSD, No. > AnonymOS, Not yet. > (Amnesiac) Incognito, Not yet. > eComStation, No, I prefer real OS/2. :-) There are only a few legacy applications I use at very few occassions, that's why I still have a OS/2 Warp 3 installation on real hardware here. eComStation is said to be a good successor, but as far as I know, it costs. For just "trial and error" too much, especially because I have already paid for OS/2. :-) > Syllable , No. > ReactOS, No. > Haiku, Yes, have been using it (as well as BeOS).

Try those, it will definitely be interesting. Probably you can use virtualisation to run most of them. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
