Why do you want 2000? I'm still running Win95. I say don't bother, it will run like a dog and have a crappy display but if you need USB support go with 98. -----Original Message----- From: Computer-Guru [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, November 26, 2002 4:43 PM To: Libretto Subject: Re: [LIB] Windows 2000 on Libretto 50 Date: Tue, 26 Nov 2002 19:42:10 -0500 From: "Computer-Guru" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: [LIB] Windows 2000 on Libretto 50 Hi Neil, Ok, so it sounds like it would be possible to install it. However, If I understand what you are saying, I would be stuck in 16-color mode?? The video drivers for Windows NT don't work with 2000? Thanks!

More seriously: it seems to work, but it's very slow to install, slow to start, slow to run anything. 98 2nd edition is a better choice, and depending on your tastes, Mandrake 7.1 is better still...
