Ah, now I understand. Yes, it would piss me off as well if I went with
Mandrake 8.0 with an older kernel supported by Win4Lin v2 and then
version 3 came out with support for kernel 2.4.x the next day.
Are you using vmware now? I have tried it and thought it was really
good, but sort of an overkill for my needs. Win4Lin is perfect, small
and fast. I have been thinking of vmware at work, though. I used Windows
2000 and would like to drop Hummingbird Exceed and just use Linux. I may
have to look into that.
