I have, or had, Fedora Red Hat as one of three systems on a single computer. Win 98 and Win XP were the other two. Unfortunately, it was not set up to go online in Linux, and as I didn't know enough not to set up several accounts so as to go online in XP with a LIMITED account, and my free AVG antivirus suddenly expired, I suddenly got a bad malware problem on it in both 98 and XP. I brought it to a dishonest computer company which claimed to have fixed the problem but instead, it came back with Win 98 missing, XP still contaminated, and no sign of Linux on the PC at all. Just a 20 GB drive C. Moreover, the 250 GB data disk, with all the data on it, no longer appeared to exist at all. I hadn't backed it up for a month. And then, things really started to go wrong!
