dave_boo Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 Check Linux.com's article about installing Linux on top of Windows. This could be a good alternative for those who want to learn about Linux without mucking about with a full install. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RKASA Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 Best way to install a second os is to give it its own space. Get a ext hdd which connects usb install it over there. Its handy to use the extra space for backing up data to a seperate drive anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hp8000 Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 ^ I second, installing GNU/Linux in Windows is just an heresy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave_boo Posted April 16, 2008 Author Share Posted April 16, 2008 ^ I second, installing GNU/Linux in Windows is just an heresy. Heresy, but if more people get to use it, more people are going to look to it when they decide to upgrade next time. This is only another way to expand the user base. An expanded user base means more pressure on hardware manufacturers to write drivers. ETC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gumballl Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 Install and use VMware. It does not get any easier. Here's the link: http://www.vmware.com/products/server/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astral Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 I agree with the Heresy statement!! Install Linux and use a drop of WINE for the odd windows apps that cannot be replaced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave_boo Posted May 12, 2008 Author Share Posted May 12, 2008 As a side note, have we all seen that wine is up to 1.0.0RC as we speak? Go ahead and download it people (or add winehq to your repositories)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
