one way to move to Linux for most things without having to leave every
application behind.

Thanks for that Seb,

Why would I need a licence for Windows 98?  I have a second user built
machine which came loaded with Windows 98.  I have been told about Win4lin,
but am strapped for cash at present (recently forked out alot to have the
machine repaired).  I have only just installed Redhat 9 and am still unable
to get online, so I am sorting that at the moment

My other option is to get them their own machine with Windows on.

I will probably email the Learning Company to ask them about software for
Linux.

The bit about Wine was over my head, however I would be willing to send a
couple of the games to you if I knew I would get them back.  If you could
let me have an address.

Regards

Janet
