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.:) "River" <riverstyx@eircom.net> wrote in message news:8fcbd9$ucb$1@fraggle.esatclear.ie... > Hi there, > > I am a win98 user, recently I have been toying witht the idea of switching > over to linux. > > What I'd like to know is, is it worth the changeover? > > Any comments would be greatly appreciated. > > River > >
