Sounds like a feasible plan.

 

[nathan]

still think you have put windows 3.11 on there!!! it would fly!!!

 

[Dav0s]

dua boot vista and server 2003

 

[Nagaru]

Dual boot XP pro and Gentoo Linux.

Wow lots of different ideas! And I definately do love Server 2k3 and Linux. Might be the way to go

Currently you can't run OSX on a non apple product, even if it is X86.

Yes, it can be done, but driver support is almost non-existent. Not worth it IMO. And why put OS X on a something that doesn't really support it when I have a $3k laptop for that muahaha.

2k3 or XP Pro & Linux is soundin' pretty good right now.

XP/Ubuntu is always fun.
