[DuoList] Best OS for my PB2400?

[Ralph Mawyer]

Moe, Gene is right on.  I'm running 8.6 as primary on a fully loaded 
2400, with a secondary partition for 9.1.x.  If you get the bigger HD 
you'll give yourself some more options...and I think you'll be 
pleasantly surprised at the performance increase you'll experience.
