Neo,

If you, have a decent spec machine the "Virtual PC" product might be worth a
look. Virtual PC product is not simply a utility allowing a choice of bootup
operating system (like System Commander, Partition Magic  type products
etc).

Virtual PC actually *runs* multiple operating systems (or different
configurations of same operating system) concurrently on the same machine.
(Hence my comment about needing a decent spec PC to run it on). You could
therefore for example have multi W98 plus W95 plus Unix installations all
running simultaneously. Apparently it will all work on a network as well
even using same IP address in each OS.

Have not tried it myself yet but plan to.

John
