and you dont have to pay billie gates and company for it.

Not bad for a 0.06 OS, but what happens if Intel/AMD/etc. change something in their architecture that renders something in code useless? There are lots of things that could keep this from becoming mainstream, or even as popular as Linux. I'm not going to get my hopes up on this one.

It was a maxtor diamond plus 10. it wasn't that much, because they now have larger models, so my one is slowly getting out of date.
but 250 is all i need atm.

Ohhhh that would be damn perfect to install on that crappy P166...
At least I'll run something else than that annoying Win98... I hate that OS soooooooo much.

The thing is not even what it could run.
It's is it small enough to transfer it via floppy on that PC. No network card.
