What OS are you running?

I'm running Gentoo Linux happily.
Nice and quick, though I accidentally blew up the imlib library earlier. ;_;

Simply put, that means I lost my desktop and some other related things for a short while.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Until they port foobar2000, EAC, Kega Fusion... etc. Over to Linux, I'm using Windows XP SP2. With the right tweaking it can *almost* be as lean as Win2k SP4

You really are closed-minded, aren't you?
First, why should those programs be ported when OSS-equivalents exist? wxmusik, amarok, muine, and several other programs function similarly to foobar2000; grip is (IMO) superior to EAC, as it's got less clutter in the configuration and runs much faster for me; no idea about Kega Fusion. Also, Windows XP, when I ran it, was leaner than Windows 2000. :P

I'd dualboot, but my HDD space is low and I don't want either OS fiddling with the DST (daylight savings time) settings, they'll cancel each other out. Though I might try a Linux Live CD...

Good for you. You do realise DST settings relate to your OS' configuration, and is not controlled by your BIOS?

If someone could make a port of Win98SE (and Win2k/XP) that would run well under Linux, I'd finally be able to give my illegitimate copy of Win XP the boot, but alas no one has a good system of running ALL DOS/Win9x/WinNT programs under Linux for me (VMWare is too damn slow).

That's got to be the most unfounded thing I've ever heard on GFF. "Porting" an OS would be impossible, as it would become an entirely different OS. Also, have you heard of DosBox and Wine? They do exactly what you want. In addition, VMWare's only as slow as you make it, though if your computer is weak, it'll be slow no matter what you do.

As a fun fact, foobar2000 runs perfectly in wine, and EAC is still mostly functional under it.

Also, why are you posting a reply "I'll do [x] when [y]" to everyone? It's annoying.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
