Don't think you have to go back to crappy windows until you've tried NetBSD and/or Linux. NetBSD install is easier than FreeBSD install, I've done both. There are lots of Linux live CDs that you can run without changing anything on the hard drive. You would get a dmesg that you could examine. You can get a lot of information on the many Linux distributions, and BSD too, on http://distrowatch.com/ NetBSD installation CD also gives you a good dmesg that you can examine, and you can go to a /bin/sh shell to view it with less.
