: : I have RedHat Linux and Windows 98 dual booted.
: : Basically, I formated the drive. It's a good idea to do that every once in a while, and it forces you to backup everything you want to keep! It also helps a great deal in configuration if you do it from a clean drive.
: : Linux is really really cool IF you are using it for networking. If you are just using it for personal use, try something else. It's the free alternative to Microsoft Windows NT Server, and it does tons of stuff.
: : It's a command-based operating system just like MS-DOS. And it'll run on anything from an x386 chip to university supercomputers -- and it does. Minimum install is less than fifteen megabytes. And the program sizes are TINY! A POP3 mail server (That's what your e-mail program dials into when it retrieves your new mail) was a 43 kilobyte download. And it works great.
: : But you know what's best of all? Microsoft didn't make it. And they don't support it. And it's infinitely more powerful.
: : I can help if you want.

Command based?!!! AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! ::runs in terror::
