Funny thing... It never occurred to me to google "free windows-clone OS" keywords...well, whaddayaknow, there [URL="http://www.netscape.com/viewstory/2006/08/28/new-version-of-free-windows-clone-released/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.reactos.org%2Fxhtml%2Fen%2Fabout.html&frame=true"]is[/URL] hope that Micro$oft will reconsider that "thy shall install only once" OEM-crap-policy. Maybe even a couple of free-bees? If Bill Gates was dead he'd be turning around in his grave.

Hello net-gurus. I am in the quest for ultimate pxe-way of booting and installing OS-es. My idea is to find me a software that would act as a pxe server (along with DHCO and TFTP) and give me an option of serving various boot/install images. I've considered Widows server 2000/3/8, …

Nero has it's own ASPI layer, and reinstalling complete Nero (7.10) doesn't help. I am missing something here, and …
