Yes, you're right with the partitions.
Or You can share your Windows swap partition with Linux swap partition.
There is a how-to regarding this. It will help if you have limited space
for running Windows (as the Microsoft recommended there is 10% free-space
for swap), and you didnot want to add any partition for Linux swap.

No, there is no problem with ax25.
But there is some significant security breaches at RH 6.2 distribution. You
can search (and add some patch) from www.cert.org or www.iss.net or
directly to RH homepage for update.

If you running Windows 98 Second Edition, you will find a lot of trouble.
But you can upgrade your windows (visit http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com)
to find out what your Windows need for running well. My experience with
Microsoft Windows 98 (SE) is still running (without having much trouble) at
486 DX2 66 Mhz RAM 12 MB (but it's more slower than Win 95/97 installed at
the same computer).
