This brings back so many fond memories from the late 90ies. I dual booted Windows NT 4 and Red Hat Linux for many years on an old Pentium 166 with an Adaptec scsi controller (remember that?). It was wonderful. Could never afford an Alpha machine though. WinNT was good stuff, miss the good old blue boot screen.

Yeah I remember having a server with an Adaptec SCSI controller. It only booted with Linux 2.4. When we attempted to boot Linux 2.6 I had to drive 300 km to the datacenter to fix it. "trying harder", it printed. Fun stuff.
