Right now I'm running two computers, Ubuntu on the new one and W98 SP2 on
an elderly Dell, with a KVM switch and a teeny weenie Samba server running
2x 500Gig disks in RAID 1 for backup storage.

Windows 98 is a completely different operating system from Windows XP.

I run Windows XP on the desktop, and FreeBSD (vastly superior to Linux--it is
a real descendent of UNIX, whereas Linux is not) on the server.
