I think we have to consider the hardware that the OSs are going to be
installed onto, also to help determine which OS ultimately does get
installed.
I know that Mepis will not install on 486 hardware but some of the Knoppix
versions will. Also some OSs don't support all the latest and greatest, bells
and whistles yet.
Also dual boots...DEFRAG prior to arriving at the fest is mandatory if the
other OS is the one whose name we don't like to utter.
