You can always try out Vmware (it lets you setup a O/S inside of another O/S), and there is another company in Austin, TX that has a program along the same lines just a lil cheaper. If you're interested I can find out the name of the austin company. But Vmware does (or used too) have a trial version.
I used it for awhile so I could use HomeSite 4.5 while I was in linux (keep in mind for graphics intensive stuff...say flash or something high powerd like Dreamweaver MX its pretty slow....i almost had DreamweaverMX working in wine so the other day...i think the problem is Macromedias crippled java engine) Flo -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, January 16, 2003 9:55 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [luau] Greetings >demon_jr808 wrote: >> I am considering purchasing the following laptop and installing Linux >> I want to use the laptop as a learning ground for Linux >If you have an existing computer >running Windows you may consider >"dual booting". Dual booting is sometimes used by people transitioning from windows to linux, but ironically it is rather more complicated than just switching. At least, it was difficult for me. There are some other routes for dippiing your toe in the water before you jump in. I am thinking of some distributions that either let you boot from a floppy, or CD, or there is even one that you can install in windows as if it were a windows app. My fave is Knoppix, it lets you boot from a CD. It's not nearly as slow as I'd feared it would be, and it has a nice variety of tools installed. It lets you access windows partitions as read only. I'm not sure it has web authoring stuff, though. have fun!
