As a matter of fact, I have more computers laying around than many small businesses - the sad result of a hobby gone wild... anyone want to buy an internet ready Compaq 200 in Southern Califonnia?
On my list of things to do is to have a Microsoft-free setup-- networking FreeBSD, netBSD, Debian and Slackware systems.
OS/2 Warp would be interesting as would BeOS, but I haven't been able to lay hands on a copy. The last OS/2 I bought was Warp 3.
By way of history I was an engineer, Unix systems analyst/administrator and programmer before retirement/disability but became a dinosaur by a failure to make the "objects paradym" switch.
I installed and ran Yggdrasil, until a power failure scrambeled the fs.
Later I ran Red Hat 6.2, until one of their techies told me my XXX weeks support certificate was worthless for an obsolete version and I should buy a "Current Boxed Version".
In the past I've bought Mandrake, Suse, FreeBSD, and a commercial Debian.

You can upgrade from Warp3 using 'updatecd' and this gives support
for lots of modern hardware but not without some problems, as you
might expect.
