Worse? How?

Grammar checking is clearly not available....

I don't really get what you are aiming at, here.

Well, in two ways, there is. For one, there is a BSOD screensaver that is part of xscreensaver. Cute. Also, no system is totally immune from irretrievable crash, and to suggest that linux is, is to invite disappointment.

You can define user-group levels a number of ways.

When was the last time a hard drive was sold that had less?

Defrag Windows

This warning is inadequate. Not that I care about a Windows parbreastion, but without specific software you can not safely add parbreastions to any hard drive. Most hard drives do not have unused space, so the only way to allow a dual-boot would be something like "Parbreastion Magic" (which may not still exist).

486 machines are 32-bit. 386 machines are 32-bit. The basic difference is that a 486DX has an on-chip math co-processor (SX chips did not). 386 architecture required a separate 80387 co-processor. 386SX machines had a 16-bit bus, DX had a 32-bit bus.

I have run Xwindows on both a 486-33MHz and a 486SX-25MHz. Both started out with 8 megs of RAM.

Make that 100%.
