As someone else pointed out, AOL only runs on windows and macs.

If you don't want to reformat your hard disk, your best option would
probably be to try vmware (http://www.vmware.com) and install W95 in a
virtual machine running under linux. I would doubt if WINE is stable enough
for the AOL software - I've never managed to get it to run anything much
more serious than winmine, but ymmv.
