Do you have more specks on the machine?  What type and speed CPU and 
what size HDD?

I'm asking because I work with a few local charities that get low-end 
machines with Win98.  So far, they've just been shelving them for spare 
parts.  But maybe FireFox, Thunderbird, and OpenOffice.org can 
resurrect them.   Sure, I could install Linux, but they are already 
used to Windows and understand it.  I want the transition to FLOSS to 
be a smooth as possible.
