 I have been contemplating downloading LInux,
and I have a few questions.

1. I know Linux has a DOS emulator available.
    Will the emulator allow me to do _anything_
    that DOS would. i.e. lauch windows

2.  Can I configure my system so that I can decide
     during the boot sequence whether to run Linux,
     or NT, or DOS, etc. ?

3.  How much hard drive space does Linux need?

4.  Is there a lot of software available for Linux?

My thanks and gratitude to anyone who responds to
any/all of my questions.
