I've got Postgres running on colinux which works well under windows XP, not sure how it will do under windows '98. (Not very well, according to this: http://colinux.wikia.com/wiki/FAQ#Q11._Is_it_possible_to_run_coLinux_under_98.2FME.3F ) 2009/5/14 Richard Huxton <dev@xxxxxxxxxxxx>: > Well, the perhaps more generous answer is "try cygwin" - there's a > PostgreSQL package for it and it appears to be 8.2.9 (which isn't too old > although see if there's the latest 8.2 available). > > However, assuming anyone running Windows 98 is doing so on hardware from > 2000 or earlier, you've probably got at best 256MB of RAM and an aging disk > too.
