Frankly, Gentlemen, I don't see the problem. I have a Win95 PC and my
RHL5.0 box sitting almost side by side. I keep DOS formatted diskettes
and DOS formatted Zip cartridges handy, and I have Zip 100 drives on each
of the two machines and 1.44MB floppy drives on each machine. Whenever I
have a problem of wanting a given file to be on the other machine, I just
write it to the Zip or diskette, whichever is handiest and appropriate at
the momement and transfer it to the other machine.
I suppose what you really want is to have PhotoShop and WinWord, etc., on
both machines so that you don't have to do that, but that would be sort of
silly. Sooner or later you have to decide when a given machine is to be
used for production instead of experimenting and learning. If the
capability of doing a particular type of work doesn't exist on a given
machine - or is impractical - then what's the point of having files on
that machine that are unique to that kind of work? It seems to me that
you haven't really decided whether you are going to live in the *nix world
or the Windows world. I have one machine (my fastest machine) set up to
play Quake and other games. If I want to do all of my day to day chores,
I have an old 386DX40 with 16MB running Win95 that's good for that. If I
want to
experiment with Linux and learn how to use it, as I'm doing now, I use
this other old 386DX40 with 8MB, and it's good enough for that.
