setting up Tkinter

[Andy Mullen]

As i understand from the website (www.python.com), this program doesn't run
on windows 98. Since i was already thinking of putting linux on my machine
under a partition of the HD, i was wondering if someone could point me in
the right direction as to where to get linux online, how to go about
install, and how to run the 2 separate OS's on one machine.  any response
would be appreciated
