Not really. Win98 seems to be able to run on failing hardware. I've come across plenty of times where win98 will happily run, and crash every now and again, or corrupt files every now and again, whereas Linux, if I tried to compile something, would throw errors. Find it it's due to a bad stick of ram that has been in the box for a while. I never knew why certain files would get trashed on Windows, but as soon as I replaced the ram, everything was happy again. I think it's because Win98 doesn't put enough checksums or whatnot, and doesn't catch hardware errors like it should. -- Jesse Keating RHCE MCSE For Web Services and Linux Consulting, Visit --> j2Solutions.net Mondo DevTeam (www.mondorescue.org) Was I helpful?
