Sorry I haven't read all the replies.. I use Linux, Mac, or Unix at
work, but to manage AD I have to use Windows, So I use VirtualBox on
Linux and run it there.. it's disgraceful the amount of upkeep I have to
give it.. but It works.. if you have enough memory you could go that

Hi all:
I'm looking for advice from any linux admins that are stuck with windows
as the OS on their workstation. I've never been in this boat before and

Hello Kelly
There are a few ways around that particular issue.
Do you have Administrator access on your Windows Workstation? If not,
you can run various live discs, like puppy, and other distributions
if you workstation has a CD rom drive and that your have access to it,
and your bios is set
My plan was always to format C: and reload (with something different).
Maybe that is just me. I hate wasting the time in keeping particularly
those XP boxes running. There are the Cygwin tools if you want Unix /
Linux tools on a Windows box. I have no idea if they work on Windows 7
though. If
too.

I was stuck that way before. My solution was to find a 'spare
desktop' and install Linux on it with a 2 port KVM. Not the

I thank you all for your input. I do have admin on the box but
reimaging it isn't an option. My company is very heavy on the windows
tools, I have to use outlook, communicator, sharepoint, etc. I tried
