GPL & Win2000 Good idea?

I have just acquired a copy of windows 2000, and was wondering if it is worth it to set it up and be 'one of the first'... An important point is GPL comatibility. I know someone was posting earlier about the win2000beta... I have amd k6-2 333 / aopen ax59pro mb (soon to be celery 433 / abit) 64 mb ram banshee sb pci-64 should I do it? ps. I'm starting school again and will be very busy, and will need my computer, so I don't want to do too much***ing around, although a little ***ing around would be ok. speedracer

Depends if you have a Logitech Force Feedback wheel or not. Currently the FF doesn't work. The wheel works great but it's a little difficult to drive without even the resistance a non FF wheel has. Also the 233 may be a little slow under 2000. Mike Horton http://www.cta-racing.com GPL F2/F3 Hotlaps and Other Downloadables

It's a 333, the -2 sometimes confuses people.... :) But I am running the minimum ram at 64mb! And after tuition and books this semester it looks like it won't be a celery after all :( However by next semester I'll be able to get something faster for the same money, so I guess all is well... And my wheel is a nascar pro.. The installation went so smoothly I was wondering if it was actually a windows product!?! It found and installed ALL my drivers without even asking me a thing. Just booted up all ready to go, ethernet card internet working and everyhting! I just had to install ipx to get it to join my other computers workgroup. Although the 650 mb footprint is a bit much! BTW I didn't get any installation options (no background, accessibility that sort of thing) did I miss something? So besides the wheel, no probs with gpl? thanx, speedracer
