Well, there's Cygwin (just google for it) but unless you're really tight
for hard-drive space I would just set up a dual-boot situation. That way
you have completely separate and complete installations of both XP and
Linux. I have an 80 gig drive that I partitioned into 3 roughly equal
parts -- one is ntfs for XP, another is ext3 for Linux, and the third is
fat32 for data that can be accessed from either OS. Drives are so darn
cheap nowadays that you can easily do this sort of thing for $50 or less.
I don't really trust the emulator idea much. If something isn't working
the way it should or the way you think it ought to, how would you really
know where the trouble lies?
