I've always been fascinated by applications in general and especially OSes. I'm always screwing up both my FreeBSD and my Windows systems because I'll download and try out just about anything. It's especially bad these days, with the huge hard drives. I saw a hard drive on sale this week. It is a 400gb(!) drive for US$150. Even I would have a hard time filling up a 400gb hard drive. I picked up a 180gb hard drive for around US$50, and I still haven't come close to filling it up.
But I just can't resist trying out new OSes. I've mentioned a few sites here before, but I made the mistake of subscribing to the Distrowatch RSS feed and now I'm in real touble. I'm constantly downloading ISO, burning them and almost never actually trying them out. Even for various Linux distros, I can hardly resist myself if there is any kind of hook for it.
And I'm a real sucker for unique OSes. I downloaded Syllable and others, boot them, admire their hard work and dedication and then move on. Anyway, here's a link to the Wikipedia page listing lots and lots of them. In particular, check out the Hobby OS list. Simply fascinating!
