Okay i have two questions i am going down the linux route with my computer.

First of all i have a laptop which i want to keep windows as it is very useful on a ship which are windows dominated. So how would i have my desktop running linux and networked to the laptop running win98 as well as the empeg i would want to store files etc on the desktop.

The next question is i am contemplating having swapable hard drives where the hard drive is housed in a removeable frame so that you can swap harddrives for different things. Has anyone got any opinions on these.

Thanks folks i am sure there is plenty more questions to come
