About all I do is regularly run windows update and apply any patches available.  It is on a P-166 machine but then so is my RH72

I guess we are quite on the opposite ends of the spectrum.  I got
started in Linux because Windows 95 crashed about once an hour on 
me.  I can't keep a Windows box running for more than a week, yet
my Linux and Solaris boxes are hardly ever rebooted (only for 
security updates).  For the Windows 98 and Linux workstations, I 
have very similar usage patterns, so it's not like I'm using them 
differently.  One is a Timex (keeps on ticking) and the other, 
well, dies avery few days.

If you care to share your secrets to keeping Win98 running, I
would appreciate it.
