A cut-down Linux system (running no extraneous rubbish) with a read-only
filesystem has the same advantages, plus then you don't have to deal
with DOS.

On the other hand, I am told Windows ME runs well on the things, so
presumably Win98 does too.  I also have a copy of the Windows drivers
for the Wizards that I can put on-line if you didn't get given a CD.
