Well one reason was that Linux sucked big time five or six years ago. Now it's 'put in the CD and let it do its thing' so a lot easier. As to Windows98, after tussling for a few hours the other day getting a win98 system to network with an XP one, I must say that I agree it's a pain! After a couple of hours working through checklists and so on (win98) eventually success! Network neighborhood (if that's how these yanks spell it) showed the network! RM retires to bed happy; next day on restarting the machines on the network - nothing! No network visible! So out went win98 and in went Linux. There's only so much pain a guy can take.
