So basically I install my favorite distro of Linux. Download and install the compatible version of virtualbox. Then install XP in the virtualbox.
Would I be able to open an instance of XP in a window? Like opening multiple browser tabs? That way I would be able to go back and forth between Windows and Linux. ------------------------ Keith Smith --- On Mon, 9/13/10, Ariel Gold <arielqg...@gmail.com> wrote: From: Ariel Gold <arielqg...@gmail.com> Subject: Re: going M$ free To: "Main PLUG discussion list" <plug-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us> Date: Monday, September 13, 2010, 9:25 AM I also run virtualbox for IE testing. I run tinyxp, which runs blazing fast (not that i've done any benchmarking...) 2010/9/13 Roderick Ford <r.f...@cox.net> I keep a WinXP box running in a vm on my Fedora 7 (yes, due to be upgraded), then anytime I need windows I can just use KRDC to show the desktop and test all the browsers there.

In about 2000 I went M$ free for about 8 months. I tried it again in 2007 for a month or two. The main issue I have is I am a LAMP dev and find it awkward to run IE in wine. I need IE to test how things look and work in IE. The other issue I had is I really like PSpad. It is my favorite editor. I spend so much time in Linux anymore it almost makes sense to go M$ free. How do you check how sites resulve in IE if you run only linux?
