You could well start a thread comparing the "old" TAMU (0.96c+) with
the current release. The old release is small, fast, and breaks X into a
separate set of disks, the new has one huge set of disks for everything,
and selectively loads X or not.
I really like TAMU, and it used to include the kernel source so you
could change options (I think it still does, but I don't have it up
right now). It has a nice X implementation which lets you go look for
useful modes on your system, and which may find things you never dreamed
you had. That's been the case on a number of systems I've used.
TAMU has a single disk boot and maintenence setup which is nice even
if you run SLS, because you can get the system up and check out
problems. I like it a lot.

Windows NT is a *great* program!
It's everything CP/M should have been all along.
