I know a lot of people running Linux, and I will too If windoze 98 screws up
again.. (fifth time in 3 months or so?)
The only reason Windows is the main operation system, is that it comes with
any new machine..

5th in 3mon? How about reinstalling 98 once a week for the last three weeks?
Just downloaded Redhat 6.1 image and have the install disk burned. Real soon
now.
Not griping at all just the state of my art.

Whoa! That's a bit over the top. Are you sure it's a Windows problem, as opposed
to hardware problem?

My current Win 98 session has been running 342 hr. 42 min. without
a single reboot, GPF, or BSOD.
You guys sure you know how to run a computer ?

I thought it was par for the course to reboot once in awhile :-)
Last time was yesterday, time before that may have been a couple weeks ago. I
don't think of it as Win98 as much as I do the stuff I have plugged into my PC
and the stuff that's running on it. The software I install can be pretty
archaic sometimes.
However, it would be nice to not have to push the warm-boot button at all... but
isn't Linux just pushing it for you? That's sort of what I hear is the idea
anyway.

Moving over to Linux isn't something that should be done lightly, though for
me it's been a great learning experience, and I wouldn't go back Microsoft.
Matt it sounds like a hardware problem, IDE controler or even the fan cutting
out and causing the machine to do all sorts of things that it wouldn't normally
do, or something of that nature.

Ever changed an IP, tweaked your AGP, changed the MTU, installed and
configured a firewall...? The default options in Windows are so
alfully dreadfully moronically set up that a 50% decrease from optimal
performance should make you feel lucky. As an example, the default
configuration of my network card has the MTU screwed up and as a
result the maximum transer over my 100 Mbps lan was 7.1 K. Yes,
kilobytes! The AGP was automatically set to 1x, most of the functions
of the 3D accelerator were disabled... It was stable that way, but
now, more than 250 reboots later, performance has more than doubled.

My old Win machine, K6/193, 32 RAM, 1.2 HDD, 2 MB S3 ViRGE suffered
from two or three freezings or BSODs a day, not counting GPFs and app
freezings which didn't take the system down. The *exact same box* has
been running Linux for over a month now and has only been rebooted to
add hardware (physically, because changing the default network card or
installing/uninstalling "drivers" for existing hardware do not need a
reboot).
I *know* how to use a computer but Windows does not.

Get a TV-card, run the tv program, open a dos-window and make it fullscreen.
Win98 will hang so badly that only turning off the computer and turning it
on again will help (even the reset button will not help).
I sometimes forget this and it happens every time.

Why don't you folks use Windows NT, as I do?
Machine: Dual Pentium 200 MMX, 96MB RAM,
current uptime: 1738,5 hours. Yes, that's
two and a half months.
