The Big Changeover and Bochs.

I have two machines, both Pentiums. One runs dual boot SuSE 7.1 and Win98. The other just Win98. I have to keep at least one machine working with W98 because I have three Windows and two DOS applications I wish to keep. If I had Bochs, would this enable me to run windows and DOS progs on the LINUX box ? I have never tried emulators before. Any other LINUX newbies running Bochs yet ? Does Bochs compete with vmware etc. ? Regards -- Geoff Bagley
