You can "test" installing or booting Linux distros (or Windows OS) on your computer "virtually" using "MS Virtual PC 2004"

See the list of compatible OS:

It's better that way.  Nothing in there to stab/bite/poison you.  Be a man and take the cold.  I used to live in NS.  The water there makes MA's beaches feel like Florida.

In the event of an attack that lage, Boston is actually one of the most likely population centers in the US to get hit, given its accessibility as a seaport, it's symbolic importance in US history, and its proximity to NYC and DC.

Well, we do have the scourge of Kennedy.

spystyle:
As for the scourge of Kennedys.

Is that bad? I am not familiar with how they affect New England. Do they play "The Dead Kennedys" punk rock music at all hours? Do they rise as zombies and try to bite you? (I'm glad zombies are so slow)

I guess it wouldn't matter - anyone reading this message board is too poor to buy an arcade (not an arcade machine, an arcade building) therefore too poor to live near the Kennedys.

So I guess all BYOAC members are safe from Kennedy zombie attacks

ChadTower:

Don't know about actual zombies but Kennedys have been known to get blitzed out of their minds, pass out on the sidewalk, and wake up with no memory.  Various members of the family are in and out of rehab often enough to have standing reservations.

Once you got Linux on those 4 PCs... what would you use them for?

I plan to build Karaoke servers with a couple of them. I'll either use DSL or Win98. They are 400Mhz-600Mhz computers. There is a program called PYKareoke that I'm going to try and use on DSL.

I have 40GB of Karaoke music so I have plenty of songs to select from. I am just missing some Poison and Megadeth for me to sing.
