I am running NT (was SP3 now SP4) and RedHat 5.2 on my 3200. NT is just as slow
and unstable on here as it is on any other platform I have seen it on. I am
however using the Softex PC Card Services For NT (v2.0). Seems to work just
fine. Now that I have loaded SP4, I can't do a shutdown from NT. The machine
always reboots. I have to hold the power button down after it reboots. Go
figure.... Gotta love that Microsoft, I'm sure they will call this a feature,
not a bug ;-)

| Hi! I'm new to the list and I was curious if anyone was running
| Windows NT 4.0 on their Inspiron 3200? I am currently running
| RedHat 5.2 and Windows 95. I'd like to do some development that
| requires Windows NT on my Inspiron but based on my experiences
| with Latitudes and NT I'm hesitant to mess with my favorite
| laptop.
|
| Thanks in advance! --eric
