Actually I did try VMware. After that I went back to dual boot. I found
VMware too slow, even on an AMD 600 with 256Meg RAM. When Win4Lin came
along I tried that, and was impressed, no significant performance
degradation.
I am currently running dual boot (NT4.0/RH6.2) on a Toshiba Portege' with
94Mbytes RAM (max it will support). I will try Win4Lin on the Notebook as
well. If it works there, I'm sold.

Why not try VMware? I run a Linux desktop and use VMware for Linux to run
Windows in a virtual machine for all my must-have-windows-only software I
need to run.
Sure it costs more than Win4Lin but I feel it is well worth the extra. You
get things like:
- 100% Windows compatibility, you even get a BIOS!!!
- Support for bi-directional parallel devices like printers
- Support for Sound
- Networking (which is lacking in Win4Lin IIRC)
- Undoable disks (discard changes you have made to the virtual computer)
- The ability to run other OSes rather than just Windows. This is
excellent
for testing Linux upgrades etc
- You can run Windows that has been installed into a partition, not just
virtual ones...
