If your computer is not that old, if you have enough ram (>1GB) and some harddisk space (10GB is enough) to spare you might consider a virtual machine. A really good, free and opensource one is VirtualBox http://www.virtualbox.org/ Nowadays the virtual machines run very close to the speed of the host computer. You can therefore use them exactly for that purpose: test code on several platforms. And there are many nice features, like e.g. snapshots (you can recall the exact state of a machine any time in the future). Very useful for development. Regards, Werner PS: There are many others like VirtualPC, VMWare, parallels, Qemu, Bochs, etc. but VirtualBox runs fine on linux, is fast and free. -- Dipl. Ing.
