Tools Old DOS dog, can I learn new trix?
Hey, y'all ...

Happily sort of between gigs ...

And, owing to some thoughts about reviving a pile of hardware (a Dell lap top and a clone PC, bla, blah, etc.) ... thought I would embark on reviving / catching up on the UX side of things. I haven't done command line OS stuff for many years, other than in routers and phone systems.

What are the chances an old DOS command-line derelict can wind his way through bootstrapping some kind of unix onto a machine? I might dabble server stuff later, but mostly thought about having a "secure" desktop. Light and fast, you know?

Where to start? Which OS variety to choose ...

I'll fish around in here to see if others have asked and had similar questions answered.

Merry Christmas!
