Why not Linux? You'll get a thinner OS and better scheduling, leaving
you with more resources and less jitter when running FG. Make sure
though that all your hardware is supported (but as you're building
it from the scratch, just select the right components). Wouldn't
get you into support worries either (it may well happen that some
of the newer hardware won't be supported by your older Windows).
See also the "Linux Hardware HOWTO" for a compatibility sheet.

what brand of Linux?... I looked at a copy of Redhat Linux in the local
computer shop and it cost $NZ129.
I wouldn't mind having dual boot with linux so I could learn linux. But even
linux costs.
I know Windows 98 se better than any other OS, so can address and resolve OS
issues quickly and efficiently.
Win XP has been suggested, for two reasons I am reluctant to go to XP; it
costs heaps and unlike XP I can get 98se to do most things I want without
un-solicited "wizards" etc popping up giving me all the reasons why it will
make it difficult for me to do what I want it to do.
I don't really wanna get in to an OS discussion. Suffice to say W 98 se is
my chosen OS because I have a license and it will have minimal impact on an
upgrade budget while giving a familiar environment. If I move to a different
OS, then getting drive sharing, printing to a network printer etc become
learning curves instead of "do it in my sleep" actions.
