Though it's totally unlike me to be an NT advocate, if we're being
realistic it will be at least a few more years before we can kill M$
completely, and as a CS student, you'll be getting plenty of UNIX
experience in class, so, keeping in mind the goal of getting experience
with different OS's, I'd have to vote for NT, though, as Dwyer pointed
out, you'd better have patience to run it with 16mb ram.  (Phew, let me
send /that/ one to my english prof. ;)

What kind of memory does you comp take?  If it's old enough to take
SIMMs instead of DIMMs, you could probably put some more in there for
$30-$40.  Check out Hayse computers on Shields & Elizabeth or Discount
Used Computers in Denver.  Or just post on csu.general and offer to
trade a Guinness for some used stuff!
