Guys,
Check out http://www.vmware.com - it is a very good site which offers the ability to run virtually any x86-based operating system within Linux. We're currently testing it here with Windows 98 and by all accounts things appear to be going quite well (we're still installing it, but that's just impressed me that it's getting that far!). There are some very crazy things that this thing can do ;)
I bloody love Linux ;)

Let me just add a note about how wonderful vmware is.
It allows you to run Windows (yes really, windows (95,98,NT), the real thing, not an emulation under linux, and at the same time as Linux, -- no rebooting). This is simply wonderful if you have to inhabit a world where most people use windows and you want the virtues of Linux.
Installation is VERY straightforward.

Yep, it even installed Win 3.1 on top of DRDOS 6 (all from floppies **) :-)
At last I can run the Kodak software for my camera without having to reboot :-)

** Do you rememeber the days when you could install an operating system from just 4 floppies (and 720K ones at that !) ?
