I just bought a laptop with XP Home on it. I will be loading SuSE 9.2 on the hd when I get the laptop.
My Question: Is XP Home capable of running the general run of Windows stuff so that it is worth keeping and running as an alternative to SuSE?
The only difference between XP Home and XP professional is the network. XP Home has a Windows 98/ME type network access, that doesn't allow for network logon to domains, while XP Professional does. Some programs are also not "installed" by default on XP Home, like ntbackup, but they're on the CD.
If you have a laptop, then you're unlikely to want the "domain logon" feature anyways.
They busted a whole lot more than that - you don't want XP home on a work lan - period. They bypassed all of the security functionality, gods know how.
Mike-
Isn't that about what they did with the old XS chips? A 486XS was basically a broken version of the DX chip and to get the FPU running you had to install a DX chip along side the XS chip. IIRC. Mike
