When XP was released, it took up under 2 gigs of space, and a patched
W2k was about the same size. When the released wissta, it needed
almost 10 gigs to install, and fully patched XP was the same size.

Windows 2000 Professional was, IMO, the pinnacle of the Windows family.
Stable, usable, not too bloated. Things went rapidly downhill after

Thats if you're going to make one image for many machines. I still say the

BSD is the "Berkeley System Distribution" originally based on AT&T

Version is, like, kernel 2.6 or even BSD might be considered a
"linux version". Distribution is a particular collection of
software around the Linux kernel.

Zone Alarm is not strictly an antivirus program. It does not look for
