It has Remote Connect... XP Home doesn't have that... but i think you can install that on Win98.. I like XP Pro..i've never had a problem yet, except for driver upgrades but thats easy [-peep-].. anyway..XP pro is nice, i am happy with it, i like the Cool look of the Desktop, rounded edges... when i go on my other comp with win98 i hate it now...all Square'd Edges i get sick when i use that computer... I didnt set my XP up like 98 style, i like the way the Start menu is

Linux--because <b>REAL MEN</b> don't need pretty GUIs
(and even if you were a girly, you could customize it to your heart's content).

ooppss...sorry, the first reply wasn't suppose to be addressed to you....i tried to delete it, but couldn't because i set my browser to reject certain cookies...

anyways--good to hear you're making the transition to Linux.
It'll be good for you and your future, wheather or not you plan to go into the IT field.

I have tried Linux several times over the last two years to check out the so called new versions. So far it makes me feel like I have gone back in time about 10 years. It reminds me of when I tried Unix on my Z80 back in 1978. It was nice to be able to load it but I couldn't run the run the software I used under my CPM Operating System and I still can't run the software I need under Linux. I know it makes a very good server but I don't need a server.
