What OS do you use for your crack rack?

[DJ_D]

I was wondering what OSs people run for their crackrack? Is it NT, Linux, DOS? Is there a concensus of which is best?

Klinux as it tailored for such a thing, but then so could a DOS boot disk, but Linux is free so.....

(And remember, free is good)

I use the greatest invention since sliced bread: Klinux.

Life's been a bit dull for you then Russ? Anyway the computer is needed for Klinux, so surely thats the greates invention...?

What do you know, its even a FAQ. TeamAnandtech Faq I was reading in the latest issue of Doctor Dobbs Journal about Mini-RealTime Linux. A Linux which fits on a single floppy disk. I thought maybe it could be setup to run the D.Net client. I guess everybody else is way ahead of me.

Klinux sounds cool, and it sure would make running a crack rack easier. So now all a node requires is a power supply, mobo, ram, cpu, video card, network card, and floppy disk. I might have to try one.

soon as i get the money to build one, Klinux is going on there

Oh BTW, Klinux sounds like the deal, but if you want to use MS-DOS, and don't want to pay for it you can always try The FreeDOS Project. I've never tried it, but it looks interesting.

I am in the process of building a crack rack, I am awaiting the first arrival of many sometime this week

Lotsa Celerons
