No substantially :) Last time I looked was when evaluations were on cover-CDs
about 3 or 4 year ago. I remember it seemed quite swish, even having a UNIX-
like command line (ie, you can type "ls" etc). Meant to go back and play more
but never did...I was toying around with buying it but again...never did...

Another OS I mean to take a gander at is Plan 9 [1]. Available for download
from <insert URL here> ... if anyone is interested I'll dig around my
bookmarks when I get home trying to find the URL. Last time I tried to
install it, it didn't recognise my graphics card, thus couldn't start the
installer :(

Heh :) My rubber keyed Speccy 48 ... as well as the +2 and +3 beat both hands
down :P

[1] Yes, apparently it is named after Bela Lugosi's last film :)
