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. -Fwec
