Yeah that was what i originally posted, a msg. from the makers of winlinux. I think we can present that also in the book fair/compass to encourage people to just try out linux. without even partitioning the disk. >There is also a product called commercial product called vmware which >allows one Yes! to run Linux inside a Windows window.

Umm i read in an extremetech article that vmware simulates standard devices to the child os, that is the one running inside vmware. It simulates generic svga display card, an ide 5400 rpm harddisk whose size is user configurable, and so on. But i can't say for sure, coz i haven't been able to try it out. The demo given in a digit cd was corrupted. :( Soumyadip Modak RCCIIT,Kolkata [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the body "unsubscribe ilug-cal" and an empty subject line.
