I'm in the process of recreating the computing environment I had in my very early teens. I had two computers in those days, my own 286 and the family 386, both running MS-DOS 5.0. I still have my original installation disks somewhere, along with tons of copies of 6.22. I'm just unsure which version to use, and practical use information seems hard to come by. The only difference I'm aware of are the disk compression utilities, but I always heard nothing but horror stories about that.
What I'm wondering is, what benefits are there to 6.22 over 5.0? I know most people go for the "latest version" but I'd just as soon use 5.0 for the personal "authenticity" of it, since I never owned a machine with anything but 5.0. Not to mention the machine I have came with 5.0 anyway.
