Hi all:
I have a ThinkPad T60 with XP set up in a docking station on the kitchen counter. It is only really used for browser and Mastercook. The Mastercook database is on a drive connected to the router, so all computers can access it. I want to ditch XP because of the security issues with the end of support, but don't want to pay for yet another W7 license. My questions are: 1.If I run XP in a virtualbox under Linux, does that provide the internet security I get with linux? 2.I am used to running Ubuntu as a dual boot. Is there another distro that is more-or-less as user friendly as Ubuntu that will work better for this setup? 3.If I were to run a dual boot instead, is there a simple way to enable access to the network drive but disable internet access when booting into XP? TIA for any comments.
