Firstly, drop the caps. No need to shout.

Secondly, OSX is illegal on a non-apple machine, so stop any discussion of that right there.

Thirdly, do you really want/need all of those OSs on there?

well take off the mac osx and put in debain or open susie

I still don't know why you want or need all of these OSs.

i like xp but fancied an experiment to play about with them vista or 7 would be next os and then one of hte linuxes so ideal it could be stiped down to 3

xp master os
vista or 7 secondary
ubuntu open susie or debiain as third os

just fancied a change, and my parter sugested linux gui os and then windows so i can get my world of warcraft
