I have used Win4Lin for about 4 years and it is an excellent program. I use Linux 90+% of the time, and mainly just need Pagemaker (that only runs on Windoze as far as I know). Of course Win98 crashes every other day or so, but since it is just running as a task on Linux (thanks to Win4Lin), I never have to reboot. Linux keeps on trucking and I just restart Win98. -------------------------------------------------- On Friday 28 January 2005 16:47, you wrote: > I know that some need to run Windows applications for whatever reason.
