Kind of amusing to see the lengths that Microsoft keeps going to, to

I don't wanna hear no fucking nostalgia for 1970's

Now *that* is rich, your lame ass is going to talk about outmoded
software, you're using Gentoo/LFS as a platform for your most
important computing, rather than as an experimental system to manually
install components of the larger OS, decrying others who have the mere
common sense to use a distro, claiming that there's a meaningful
performance advantage in compiling everything to an exact
specification of one's hardware, it's insanity, you have some kind of
brain damage.  Talk about "grow up", you need to *wake* up, to basic
reality.
 

Why not download the Linux one and play with it ?

OK, seems to work fine on LM221. Has the
same 4GB file limit as seen in the Windows version.
