When you have only a single computer , I don't think I would recommend moving to Linux without a LOT of checking....and backing up everything.....

A nice way to do it is get a KVM switch ...allows sharing of monitor, keyboard and mouse between 2 (or more with larger switches ) and put Linux on a separate older computer.

That sounds like a good idea. I've been thinking about getting an older computer to play around with, I saw #12- Guess I'd better aim at 800Mhz and up.

Is there anything that can be done for those old 300Mhz putters running Win98??
