@flexion Once the OS was installed it was lovely. ISTR new ones came installed and they were reliable enough that you basically only ever needed to reinstall them for something dire like a HD failure so it wasn't a major pain - I just remember the "WTF!?" moment at the commands needed the first time I did it.
@hippiegunnut yes absolutely. rather complicated boot/bootp commands, stand/fx depends on CPU arch and also the installer itself needed a "howto" to complete. Steep learning curve until you figured it out.
