No, I have Basilisk on my laptop (native XP), and I hope to run *nix in
there. XP has drivers for its oddball hardware (802.11b NIC mainly), for
which drivers are spottily supported or nonexistent in Linux. If there
were native Linux support (ndiswrapper isn't native) for its 802.11 NIC, I
would probably switch over. I tried BSD in Basilisk, but BSD didn't
detect any SCSI devices.
