I use Windows 98 regularly. It is very fast and stable under Win4Lin
9x. Faster than Vmware, faster than Wine. Sometimes I wonder if an old
machine can be salvaged this way: a light distro and Win4Lin 9x on
full screen. It can work well with just 48 Mb Ram or less.

Installing Win4Lin 9x is pretty hard. Installing it on a non-RPM
system much harder. But once you get it working it's pure bliss.
