Hi guys,
I just found something pretty interesting..
http://www.colinux.org
Allows you to run linux from inside windows..
Very cool, I am currently running Debian 3 inside XP, have the internet working and I can ssh to it.. Working to get X sorted, (have to use VNC cos I don't have an X server on windows..)
Very cool way to "try before you buy", but its a bit too technical to have a newbie set it up.
Still, its certainly an interesting toy.
Cool, the best of both worlds! All the virii, worms and crashes of Windoze without having to put up with all the reliability, security, efficiency and power of Linux :^}.
LOL, yes I know..
However, I didn't say I was running it for productivity reasons.
Mostly just to test some debian stuff that I will need to load onto a server soon.
Also to impress a couple of windows guys with linux.
I will install it for them, and they can try it and have a play without leaving their windows comfort zone....
But its interesting isn't it?? I mean the places linux can run?? possibly the most hostile enviroment on the planet. (inside windows)..
