I would HIGHLY suggest taking part of your 8gig (1 gig is probably more
than sufficient) and putting linux on it. This news group should help you
get it up and running, it is great to put on for the learning, the
experience, and frankly the knowledge. Linux is, has been, and will always
remain my favorite operating system. Go for it, you'll be better for the
frustration..*griN*.
Also, on the topic of stability, Linux has been rated again and again in
review after review as one of the most stable (having been called THE most
stable) UNIX O/S's. Actually, if you stick to release code and release
drivers, and don't try to do anything really fancy (like mount the
different OS file systems)...i'd pretty much gaurentee almost 100% uptime
with linux...I can't do that with SUN or IBM. And try as I might, I don't
htink i've ever managed to completely screw up a linux OS to the point of
not being able to get back in and fix it.

Subject: RE: Questions about linux ..
Thanks for all the information... I love my Front Page 98... Its just
to easy to run a web site with it.... other then that MS stands for
Majorly Sucks!!! IMHO Win 98 crashes 2x more the Win 95... But with the
8gig I got w/ my I7K I might put linux on a partition and have fun w/
it...
But your right... 95% of the computers users like the idea off just
putting the CD in and 5 min. later start playing....
