Why give up on Win 98 just because MS stop supporting it? I have tried XP 3 times and uninstalled it within an hour or 2 and gone back to 98 - its fast, runs the programs i want and i have never had a virus on it mainly because i use Opera and Open office and i think theres some sort of firewall on my router. My pc is not hopelessly old - 2gig chip, 500mb ram it does the job. i do want to move to linux and i have been trying to for the last 6 years and currently my hope lies with ubuntu - it doesn't install too many programs though i wish i could find out what the ones it does install do. But my main problem is running or replacing photoshop, dreamweaver, soundforge, acid and cubase in linux. Which seems to be quite difficult. If i could get these working i would change but with the current ubuntu i can't even get my sound to work ( i could with the previous release). my 98 is 98 lite too, which is pretty good and i found a sort of service pack for 98. I do have to reinstall once a year but thats no bad thing, it cleans up the C drive partition.
