    Which UNIX for i386 platform?

    If you are comfortable with unix, go with the *BSD line of OS'es, if you are a newbie to Unix, a lot of people suggest the Linux route, Mandrake/Redhat seems to be recommended. If you would rather go BSD, I would suggest FreeBSD!! Good Luck with you new venture!

    Converting from Win98se to Win2K - clean install instead of upgrade

    hmmm.... That's a new one on me, I have never paid attention to this issue. I am not 100% convinced that what you are saying is correct. I have upgraded from 98 to Windows 2000 in the past and I can't recall if I lost any custom configs.
