Just for kicks, I tried God Mode in 16215. Associations got me here.

No Linux, Marty! I've thought many times that I'd like to try Linux, but haven't gotten there yet.

That's OK. I've been playing with Linux since about the time it took 11 5 1/4 in floppies to load Windows 95 on a machine with a 2GB ESDI that cost $1000 at the time. I forget how much RAM I had - might have been 1GB because need special programs to access RAM > 640K. Red Hat Linux (this was before Fedora) took 1 DVD as did SUSE Linux (before openSUSE).

Anyway, I breathe a sigh of relief when I can get back to the distro I've settled on for awhile which is Siduction. It uses the Debian unstable branch (or sid). It has the latest kernel which runs VMware and Virtualbox Linux folks love weird wordplay.

But if you have a like an old Pentium computer around a light version of Linux will work fine.

Linux gives me more control over the desktop than any version of Windows - even with programs like Start10 or Winstep etc.

Not sure if posting in correct spot or not, involves Build 16215 and wireless adapter.

Been using a Netgear WNDA3100v3 USB 2.0 wireless adapter in all 3 of my Insider builds - PRO - EDU - ENT for quite a while - no issues.

Can't load software, or update drivers in any of the 3 16215 installs.
Does anyone have a suggestion for an adapter that works with 16215?

Hi 24c,
Its a known error, Mine to
not sure but seems to be related to ALL Wifi cards based on Ralink RT5390 drivers.

Got an ethernet cable?
thats how im up and running.

@hawkman - thanks - I do have the cable hooked up - just curious if the issue was 16215 or me.:)

OT - another thing I have noticed as the latest builds progressed - if Acronis True Image is installed, updating doesn't work.

I doubt you had 1Gb of RAM when Windows 95 was on floppies. By that level of RAM back then you should be running close to a petabyte now lol

1 MB, right?

When Windows 95 came along, I remember going up to 8 MB RAM.

It wasn't 11x 5.25 inch Floppies either - It was 13x 3.5" 1.68MB DMF format floppies, or a new-fangled CD-ROM!
