However as long as you have a license I can't see anything illegal about installing XP from any source. You could try one of your restore disks, some will just be a modified install CD, others are a ghost CD. IF you have a modified install CD you will get the bundled crapware though. 3.

Re: [Dorset] XP on Ubuntu
Thanks John, I have found a thread about logos in wine, but do not understand much of it. I have copied the most informative bit below. Hi Michael, there is a lng thread on here about Logos and Linux. Here's the main breakdown. Logos 3 is based heavily on IE +COM and as a result it is nearly impossible to get even basic functionality on Linux. There is a WINE project page, and a bounty there to get it working if you want to contribute. Logos 4 dropped IE+COM and moved entirely to WPF which is part of NET 3.5. The good news is that the MONO project is working on NET in Linux. Theoretically we may be able to get L4 running via WINE+MONO(+Moonlight?) under Linux. As of yet, my attempts to install and run L4 under Linux with various setups has been unsuccessful. If however you wanted to run Linux and then run a virtual Machine (QEMU etc) with Windows installed it should work just fine. The short answer then is: not yet. The full answer has yet to be written.

I need to use a programme that I do not believe will work in wine, (logos 4), so I am thinking of runing a virtual XP install using Sun VirtualBox. I have three questions. Are you certain it won't work in wine? Before you bust a gut to get Windows working in a Virtual Machine try installing the wine PPA (http://www.winehq.org/download/deb). This will provide you with the latest RC (wine 1.2-rc2), which is much better than the default 1.1.x that is provided with 10.04 out of the box. I am running Memory-Map (http://www.memory-map.co.uk) very successfully this way and everything works. You might also want to look into winetricks which allows you install some Windows components into your Wine setup to help things along. -- Next meeting: C4L and Bournemouth, Wednesday 2010-06-02 19:00 http://dorset.lug.org.uk/ http://www.linkedin.com/groups?gid=2645413 Chat: http://www.mibbit.com/?server=irc.blitzed.orgchannel=%23dorset List info: https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/dorset -- Next meeting: C4L and Bournemouth, Wednesday 2010-06-02 19:00 http://dorset.lug.org.uk/ http://www.linkedin.com/groups?gid=2645413 Chat: http://www.mibbit.com/?server=irc.blitzed.orgchannel=%23dorset List info: https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/dorset

Hi, What do people on LUG think of Maemo and the Nokia N900 that will use it as it OS. How well will it stand up to the iPhone or Google Androude phones?
