Shane,
I have just bought a copy of win4lin. It runs windows 95 (and 98 I
understand) perfectly under linux itself. It runs Quicken (my cheque
book software) and internet explorer perfectly.
The install was definitely not polished, once over that hurdle it runs a
windows session inside a window on you linux desktop. So the simple
answer is, run windows under Linux at need and stick to one boot setup.
It is $80 from www.everythinglinux.com (Tony is a great source knowledge
of, well, everything Linux).
