Hi all, I've just joined this list, and I'd thought I'd jump in. I've been using Linux off-and-on for years now -- I've moved to Linux when I'm fed up with Microsoft want my command line back, but then move back to Windows because of work reason, or I get tired of tweeking bits just to get something to run. I use Vim at work, even doing .NET programming, and everybody thinks I'm strange, but I like being able to do lots of things from the keyboard. I hate dual booting. But invariably, you need Windows to run something, and I don't feel like futzing with Wine or something else to make it run. And it's silly to reboot just to run some app, then rebooting again just to read email. My latest solution: a KVM switch. We all have an extra computer kicking around -- plug them both in, one with Linux and the other with Windows. Switch between with a keypress. And any cron jobs you have will always be run, which doesn't always happen in dual boot. Having two dedicated boxes solves a lot of problems. I haven't fired up VMWare in years, another solution, but I haven't felt like paying for a license. -- Lance Orner [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ RLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.rlug.org/mailman/listinfo/rlug
