Speaking as one VERY raw newbie,BL seems to do most anything better without
DOS,and I like DOS.Because I have no need for DOS on the same machine,maybe
I'm a little biased,but I'm not installing anything but Linux on the next
machine either.I've went about as far with the 386 as it will go and will do
a Pentium II next.I'll never be able to learn compiling if I don't.This is
quite a learning experience,and more than just a little fun.
