    What OS to Epia 800 ?

    As the topic says.. what Operating system should i go for..
    I have a Epia 800..256 mb mem
    What i want is "fast" boottimes and divx xvid playable.
    Linux is not an alternative.

    win95 win98 2000 xp ??

    right now im having 2000 installed, and divx xvid doesnt play smoothly

    thx

    I'm gonna be using XP Pro on mine when it gets delivered (order status from LinITX has gone to 4: Packed)

    98 may boot faster with Lite, but i want the added stability and driver support of XP I can sacrifice a few seconds boot time if it doesn't crash on me lol

    Ive just installed Xp on my Epia 800 as well. WIn 2000 ran crappy, with maybe a 50 second boot time. Windows xp seems to do maybe just around 20 seconds.
    Mine needs to be updated.

    How the hell did you get a 20 sec boot time?

    On my M-9000 from power button to when ME loads it's 45 Sec...and that's with all the tweaking I could find.

    I would go with Debian or Slackware or [B]LFS (If you don't know what it is, don't ask!). If you aren't up for the challange, Windows XP Pro, Or Windows 98/XP Lite.
