If you need that other operating system for something consider running it as a virtual machine. I've been running Win 7 as a virtual machine using VirtualBox on Ubuntu 14.04 for a few years and haven't had any trouble with it. I use a transcription playback program called GearPlayer, which handles audio better than the handful of Linux programs I have. For some reason it's clearer. -- Regards, Dick Steffens _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
