As others have mentioned Windows 98 is no longer supported, as of July 11 2006. http://www.microsoft.com/windows/support/endofsupport.mspx If you do provide Windows 98 make sure users know that there will be no security updates and machines running that OS should not be connected to the Internet. As for Linux suggestions, I like anything using KDE (the K Desktop Environment) largely due to the ability to split windows in the Konqueror file manager/web browser. However, if the machines you are supplying are old you may be better served by something lighter such as Xubuntu. Download a few distributions and try them out.
