Multiboot machine?

BeOS is pretty cool, Its pretty fast on a 266Mhz CPU, but about after 1Ghz it doesnt seem to get any faster

DR-DOS/OpenDOS and IBM PC-DOS are fine for Windows 3.1
Aloone_Jonez:
Probably because it was designed for older hardware, MS-DOS was pretty fast on my old 486 and it's not that much faster on my 1800MHz machine, also Neopaint (a MS-DOS graphics program) isn't much faster on my new machine compared to my old p200. If software isn't built to take advantage of new hardware then it won't be much faster when run on it.
piratePenguin,
I'll have a go with ReactOS and I'll try the networking thing once I get everything else working.
Calum,
Why do you recommend installing MS-DOS first?
This isn't possible for me as I can't find the disks, I might have a go with MS-DOS 7.x which comes with Windows 98. DR-DOS also sounds a good idea though, it free (FOSS/as in bear)? Would you recommend it over FreeDOS or should I go for both?
mobrien_12:
DR-DOS is not free as in speech/OSS. It is commercial software and still being sold. However, you can (AFAIK) still download it free of charge for personal use. Check on your favorite search engine.
A rather nice DOS...
worker201:
Instead of fucking around with all these other DOSes, why not make your own? Probably a lot harder than I'm making it sound, but more fun and beneficial to you in the longrun. Taking apart a free DOS and putting it back together would probably teach you more about computers than an EE program at MIT.
