Need a little help/advice... (fwd)

[Jerry Feldman]

First, we are planning a Linux Installfest on November 11th at Mt. Ida 
College in  Newton. The details are on the BLU web page.
second, Linux gladly coexists with Windows98.  You can shrink the 20 GB 
drive down for Linux. I personally prefer SuSE Linux, but Red Hat and 
Mandrake are excellent distributions. With Linux, you can customize your 
linux kernel by optimizing it for the Pentium III and the type of drives 
and controllers you have. You have many choices of the style desktop you 
want from a Windows98 style desktop to just about everything you could 
think of. The community is very active and helpful.  Broadband is a natural 
with Linux since it is implemented using LAN technologies that Unix and 
Linux have been using for years. In addition, there are technologies where 
you can run Windows98 inside of Linux (using something like Win4Lin), or 
under VMWare.
