ubuntu is really close to windows in appearance. It is also pretty good.

Mint Linux is another good one. Knoppix is too for a live cd.

Linux is good
i just ordered the new ubuntu cds

Ya, win98SE and a D-Link DWL-G650.

It used to work, with the supplied software but it was always flaky and now doesn't work at all.

I had the t-mobile software on it, but it requires a subscription to allow you to hook to other networks. But it does see the card, and displays the signal strength. So I know the card is working.

youre running windows 98?
what kinda card are you using
i had to find a ndis wrapper to get mine to work

I've been trying to get netstumbler to work, but they say that it will only work with certain cards under windows 98.

Phlak does some neat stuff too but thats a whole os
