Lot's of practice reloading it :-).  I've had to load it many times 
for work and you get pretty good at it after a while.

As for Linux, I can't get F7 to run on my mail server and it's clone. 
 It just won't boot.  I'm SOL.  I'm going to have to buy a new 
computer for my mail server or go back to a Windows system like 
Mercury.

If I had unlimited time I think I might try playing with BSD.  It 
should run on my old mail server computers.
