That's what I do... it is the best of both worlds. Seamless mode is
pretty cool though I usually have it full screen on my second screen.
I converted a KVM (proxmox) to run in virtualbox recently because I
wanted USB support. Anyway... I second the Virtualbox recommendation.

Thanks Lisa. I thought about what you suggested, but I tried a couple
of years ago and xp ran ok, but the games I tried to play on it didn't
run right. Has virtualbox improved 3d support over the last couple of
years?

fro most things except most gaming.
But there is hope on the horizon, Intel's VTd is making some good
inroads to what we are after.

I'm looking for something on linux that would allow me to create image
files to back up partitions. I guess something along the lines of Norton
Ghost. I'm looking for something that's easy to use. Does anyone have
any ideas?
Thanks

Take a
dd if=/dev/sdXY of=my_backup
Recover with:
dd if=my_backup of=if=/dev/sdXY
I'd go with tar though.
Simple and bulletproof...
