Depending on what you want virtualization for, you might be better off
with Win4Lin or VMware if you classify yourself as a home user.
Crossover Office is another great alternative if you just need a
compatibility layer, and not full virtualization.
QEMU and User-Mode Linux should probably be mentioned, too, but probably
aren't worth pursuing for any reasonable value of $HOME_USER.
Thank you, Todd. My problem is that I can't afford any of the
store-bought solutions and I think Win4Lin, VMware (which I'd love to
have) and Crossover Office all cost money.
Yes, I'm just a home user and reasons for having such a thing would only
be for experimentation with various Linux and *BSD distributions. Right
now, I do it with partitions, but occasionally, I goof up and lose
information or have to go through major re-installs.
Thanks for your input. It's appreciated.
Bill
