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.
