Hi! Matt,

   That's what I do here.  Two year old Dell dual-core hardware running Ububtu   
   10.04 (still) LTS, with multiple VirtualBox (vBox) PCs: a mix of various OSs,   
   two of which are Win98SE.  One of those vBoxes is my Fidonet node which I am   
   writing this on from a RDP session out of a Terminal Server Client box on my   
   wife's Ubuntu PC.  (She runs two XP-Home vBoxes as well on hers BTW.)   
      
   So.  Were you still interested in running Win98SE?  With the best MS-DOS ever   
   released and not some crappy M$ emulation out of a so-called advanced   
   Windows.  Who cares if you can't run the latest gee-whiz apps in it!  It runs   
   Fido just great, and has done since Feb 2011.   
      
   If you're wanting to marry-up VirtualBox + Win98SE, then there's some handy   
   notes that I took when I was researching the idea for myself to be found at:   
   _http://tinyurl.com/9x39v8d_ (look for the Win*.pdf files on Page2).  It's   
   best to install Win98 by forcing ACPI support, and, I heartily recommend the   
   SciTech Display Doctor video driver.  Both of my vBoxes are running   
   1024x768x24-bit desktops.   
      
   If I can help then let me know.   
      
   Cheers,   
   Paul.
