Next gratuitous #RetroComputing nerd project: set up #OS2 Warp 4 on my DOS/Win3 rig. It looks like all of my hardware is supported out-of-the-box so it should work well. I did a test run in 86Box and it all checked out there. My first impression is that it's like a weird parallel universe version of WinNT. Which, if I understand correctly, it basically is.
What's the essential "starter pack" of stuff I should install? I know about the Hobbes archive but that's about the limit of my experience.

Got it installed! Everything worked out of the box, so I'm off to a good start.
Now I've gotta think of stuff to do with it. I found Lotus SmartSuite and a couple of games. What else?

Continuing to play with it. So far I've got SimCity 2000, Lotus SmartSuite, Mozilla 1.1, and PM VNC Server 1.2 going. Gonna have to see if I can get Doom and Quake running before I set it aside.
One thing I've often run into is that a lot of the stuff from later than 2002 or so wants newer C libraries, and I haven't been able to find them in any of the archives I've downloaded. I'm wondering of most of that stuff is really intended for eCS/Arca rather than Warp 4...
