Im useing Redhat linux 6.2 and win98 and win2000 on the same machine. Win
2000 doesnt support my usb devices and some of the equipment in my computer
but win98 does. Linux is great for about all the techie stuff, learning and
networking and such, but I cant play my favorite games on it. Total
annihilation for one. Internet is fine, chats are fine all in all Linux
rocks, but not for someone who is used to windows and has to re learn how to
really use a PC. Linux will force you to learn about I/O and sectors and
IRQ's and such.... Windows tries to spoil you and not let you handle it
much. It really all depends on what you want to do. I keep windows around
for games, NT for experience and Linux for sheer rebellion.:)
