Yep, Linux was a clear knockout for me when I replaced my Diamond 550
card with a Matrox G450 card. I took my box down, installed the card,

Well that rather depends on what you want to do with it (although in the
vast majority of cases the answer is "yes, Linux is a superior alternative
to NT"). Narrow the research question... get a better answer :)

According to the quote item, I recomend to read following contribution:

There are some good whitepapers on the subject of what is good about Linux and
some head to head type stuff at htpp://www.linuxcare.com If this friend is
dealing with business or manager types a lot of this stuff is written in their
language.

I recently installed Linux on my machine days after I upgraded to Win98. The
only
problem (not really a problem, just an inconvenience) was having to run defrag
and then
removing my swap file because I couldn't run defrag without the swap file
(windows
choked, go figure).

almost everyone installing it is starting out with something like Win95
already on their machine. That immediately causes problems like setting
up a dual boot and partitioning to crop up - and these are problems that
are not uni

I'd be careful with 98 and Linux. I read about 98 moving data around and
could possibly break Linux. I just installed Debian 2.0, and it's pretty
easy now. Basically follow the prompts. YOu may not have everything
working, but your system will boot.

I use win98 and Linux on same machine and it works fine. Only problem
i have gotten is that I lost 2 GB somewhere in between fdisk for linux
and fdisk for win98(having 16GB hd is nice). But I don't really care to
do a reinstall to fix it. I have found that the install for Debian is
