I had a quick look at the Linux website and, as far as I understand, Linux
can do approximately
95% of what Windows can do. I suppose that a good solution might be to go on
working with
Windows XP on one computer and switch from Windows 98 into Linux on the
other, because Microsoft does not support Windows 98 any longer.
But the PC where I use Windows 98 does not have a large harddisk. It can
only contain about
4 GB, I think.
Is that enough?
Besides, how would I send my posts here, by using Linux?
