Newer hardware gives _you_ some problems.  I do use Linux on a box with
a 1 GB EIDE disk which is not supported by the BIOS of that very machine
(but Linux has no problems with it), a PCI bus and an ATI Mach-64 card
on that bus.  The CPU is a P90.  Looks like pretty new hardware to me.

On the same system, MSDOS could use only half of the disk space.  This is
what the DOS FDISK itself reported.  Some third party software would be
needed to replace the old fashioned BIOS interrupts.

As I said, if you can't get Linux running on newer hardware, it's
probably your fault.  Stick to Windows and problem solved.
