Best Operating System on Pentium Gear

Just curious, but do you do development for them or something Cammy? Seen it in your sig on another board that I don't frequent that often. It's always interesting to hear how folks find these alternative OS.
 
I would love to develop for Aros, but I'm only a beginner programmer myself so it'll be a while before I have anything useful to contribute. I've been an Aros user and enthusiast for a few years now, ever since I got my first PC, a red unbranded OEM netbook (with a blank HDD, no Windows or MS license). I installed Aros as my primary OS with Linux as a backup, but due to me being an avid Amiga user Aros is the system I prefer, even though it's like riding a bike without a crash helmet.

Since then I have built several PCs from scrapped components I found in junked PCs on the side of the road, and they also all run Aros. I've never been a Windows user so I've never had any real need to use it, no software loyalties for programs only available for that system, so for me it's normal to try other OSs on a PC because I grew up using many alternatives. I'm into computers as a hobby, not for a job, so I just have fun with them.

I'm pretty sure I linked to that earlier in the thread, too (If I didn't, http://win2kgaming.site90.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=7)

Most of the cool 9x modernization stuff I know of comes from the MSFN 9x Member Projects forum, and the 2K stuff comes from the forum at the link I posted for the XP API wrapper.

As for what Old Juul Posted, MINIX sounds interesting, and I hadn't considered BSD, good ideas.
