IBM's OS/2 has a great history as a workstation operating system, it was a major alternative OS in the '90s. At its peak time in the mid-'90s OS/2 had about 2 million users but the Windows NT and Windows 95 releases broke its further development. This year Serenity Systems has released a new client version of OS/2. This article will introduce you to what OS/2 is all about. You will learn its history, its user interface, and its power under the hood. The article is also accompanied by a number of screenshots.

> Now, with SDD most display adapters are supported in OS/2
Hmm, I was sure that I mentioned SDD. In fact, this is how I got support for my graphics card. By installing manually SDD. After the installation was over, because by default, I could only install eCS if I was picking VESA, I got the first CD and installed manually its drivers.
>The article makes no mention of support for other languages.
Indeed no. I haven't look that up at all because I only use English. I am Greek, but I can't stand Greek on my computer screen, so I don't bother trying to set them up. I find Greek to be nice when written in books, but when I see them in my screen, I have some weird, mixed feelings... :o
