Re: [PLUG] Win98 End of Life -> Lin98?

I don't know of any ditros, specifically - genereally, there are either

and so on, or there are distros that focus on low-end firewall
appliance-type boxes.  That being said, a minimal set-up with something
like icewm (really lightweight, and looks roughly akin to win98) and
DOSEmu should do most of it for them.  I haven't looked at DOSEmu in a
while, though - several years ago it didn't work that well for many
things, but I have heard that it's better now.  Caveat user.



I know that there's a FVWM windows 95 look alike... You can install this with a Debian system. fvwm95 I believe. The office apps will be difficult because OpenOffice.org is a memory hog.
