Re: OT: Considering changing OS (Poll)
95 is not even an option to consider. 98 is better than it in every way.
I would recommend win 2000. It has nearly everything that XP has, except for the downgraded dumbness, the tonka toys interface, product activation voodoo magic, and other XP-specific garbage. It is just as stable as XP. It is better than 98, and can play pretty much all old DOS games, especially after installing the latest win 2000 service pack.
If you want to go Linux, I would recommend Suse Linux. It is the easiest to use, though still not as easy to use as Windows.

I would go with Win 2000, or 98 SE unless you want some more user friendlyness then go with XP Pro, but I wouldnt use XP Home, 98, 95, NT

Actually, do not use ANY "home" operating system. Always get the "pro" Version. "home" means lame, feature-cut, POS garbage OS.  |

Windows 2k Pro or XP Pro are the best option for MS OS.
Home editions are limited and suck arse horribly.
I know nothing about Linux other than it is a fricking nightmare to get running right and other than that I hear it is ok for those who use it.

Re: OT: Considering changing OS (Poll)
First thing to do is determine why the system is crashing. A flaky system will crash on any OS. Post a list of the system specs for us. Any stop Messages you can remember would also help.
