Hello Ann and all, Along these lines a friend has recommended debian linux and I wonder if I need to use or avoid certain hardware? I plan to use an older Dell pentium 166mhz with external 56k modem on com3, soundblaster compatible card, andolder Sony 4x CDR drive. Does this sound like hardwarethat will work, and can I still have win98 set up on a separate drive letter using Partition Magic or similar utility under linux?
