yeah on that note I switched from vinux to the sonar 13.04 running
classic gnome and though it does lag a little with 2gb ram it seems
to work a lot better.

Where do I pull the images and codes for running an xp vm I was not
happy with the xp mode vm in vmware at all.
My only choice is to get xp however before I go the pirating root since
we are on the end of a support cycle I am actually interested in
people's old cds and licences for their xps not oem or branded because
its locked to the serial on the bios.
I don't have any to spare that are not locked to various machines.
Now if I could find a coppy that would rock.
Well either that or someone could share a machine though I prefur the
satisfaction of creating the vm myself.
Then again I guess it won't matter since some of the newer hardware
devices I have on this box won't work with xp including the net so it
would be just a gaming unit but still.

Hi Josh,
Well, personally I think a Windows XP virtual machine is the best
solution for playing these old games. I am saying that both as a
Windows user and a Linux user. Reason being that Dosbox isn't
accessible on any platform, and while Dosemu works on Linux I've never
been able to get it to play sound while running as a dumb terminal.
Besides that there are a number of other accessible games that for one
reason or another that just runs better on XP. I can think of a lot of
games written in VB 6 that really run better on XP, and just aren't as
well supported on Windows 7. Therefore if you are going to go through
the trouble of setting up an XP virtual machine you might as well as
install all of your older games on it rather than using Dosemu etc.
For example, I've spent some time this last week trying to get a
number of audio games running using Wine on Linux. Besides being a
pain in the butt to setup and get working correctly there are a number
of games that crash using Wine. However, if I Install XP on Linux
using VMWare or Virtual Box they run fine. So an XP virtual machine is
the best solution all and all.
