it's very funny that i clicked on cohost and saw this as rh 7.2 downloaded from archive
yes! The OS2 install was so hosed that I just wiped it and put Linux on there last night, and I was actually kind of surprised at how smoothly it went. I mean, by the standards of the time, eg I had to find someone's hand-picked graphics driver, move it over and copy it into the lim directory, and then write mode lines by hand until x stopped crashing, and then I ended up turning the machine off and going to bed when I realized that there was no sound and that that was a new rabbit hole I was going to have to go down. Like, perfect Linux experience for 2001. At least network worked perfectly
