Post #112,796 by deSitter 8/5/03 3:12:13 PM Reply	Re: Need recommendations If it's Great Plains Acccounting (must be to run on 486en) it will run in DOSEMU. (Dynamics is Windows.) The problem is, 486en will not run recent Linux any better than they will recent Windows. I would steer clear of this one. -drl
Post #112,798 by jbrabeck 8/5/03 3:30:26 PM Reply	Dynamics It is Dynamics accounting on a Windows computer. (Main accountant has high powered computer, rest of department has varity of equipment.) I have seen him running program(s) in a DOS environment.

Post #113,235 by orion 8/8/03 6:04:10 PM Reply	Good use of a 486 Is to get a box that is modern, and run it as a VNC server and the 486s as VNC clients to that box. That way the 486s can run an older Linux with a VNC client.
