I guess I was more fortunate.  I installed the W98-2 with no problems
of any kind.  The system runs flawlessly (at least as much as can
be expected of MS)

I know what you mean there.  We are now having NT forced on us
and this is one of the reasons I really want to learn Linux and make
it work for us here.

I don't follow.  I am not saying that I prefer MS, I only want to see
Linux work without so many problems.

That is difficult to accept.  Just look at all the problems discussed
on this mailing list.  Maybe your system works well for you but
I bet you had to do some work to get it there.

I spent a lot of time fixing problems and getting the Linux system
to work.  With 6.2 I had to manually tamper with rc.config because
SuSE 6.2 didn't propery handle DHCP with two NICs.  With 6.3 I found
that lprold was defective.  I struggled a long time with Kdevelop
before I got it to work, and that was only after I upgraded from 
the one that was on the CD.  I also wasted a lot of time with the
firewall in 6.3 and no one except Lenz Grimmer came close to helping
me to find that the firewall was rejecting the DHCP offers from my
ISP.  I never did get the SB AWE32 card working in 6.3.  Finally
in 6.4 things are working fairly well but now kpackage is broke.
