If you have sufficient disk space, you can have both Linux & Windows on the same computer. That way, you only have to boot Windows to use those apps that won't run on Linux. Incidentally, many Windows apps can run on Linux, by using a utility called "wine" or Crossover Office, which is a commercial implementation of wine. One thing I do, is create a FAT32 partition, which I move my "My Documents" folder to. This partition can be written to by both Linux & Windows, so you can share files between the two operating system. -- Use OpenOffice.org <http://www.openoffice.org> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
