Hello. I am still a Debian want to be. All that I know is win98. I am in the process of a major hardware upgrade and have two questions I wanted to run by the list.1) I intend to setup a Debian desktop. I will be re partitioning my 6.4gb drive allowing approx 4gb for Debian. I need to keep my windows system going for a while because of some of the apps I and my wife use. I am contemplating putting win95 instead of win98 back on the smaller partition. My feeling is that every release of an ms opperating system is much slower and more "buggy". I have plenty of RAM and hd space for win 98 but like the idea of the smaller footprint of win95. Any thoughts?
I prefer Win95 to 98, but that's just a personal preference.
2) I'm thinking of not installing a floppy drive. I have a rewritable cd drive and rarely use a floppy drive. I am thinking less wattage less heat, more open space in the case. Any thoughts?
If you don't ever use one, you don't need one. It won't save much wattage/heat, but it will open up a drive bay for other purposes. However, when your Aunt Jane gives you a floppy full of .jpgs of Cousin Merl's wedding, you'll find a floppy drive to be handy to have around. Well, then again, who wants to see Cousin Merl get married? In that case, leave the floppy out.
Thanks for your help and bandwidth. -Jeff H
