I have an ASUS TX-97 with an AMD K6-233 running Winblows 98 (for my
nine yr-old), Red Hat 5.whatever, and FreeBSD 3.0R withour incident.  I
use OS/2's Boot Manager because I have plenty of OS/2 licenses (and it
comes with Partition Magic, too).

All the problems I've had with Win98 have been Microsoft's fault...


Unix systems measure "uptime" in years, Winblows measures it in minutes.
