I am not quite sure how vm-ware works, but there is a free player for virtual machines available. There is also virtual machines available for e.g. Ubuntu. Might be worth checking out that option as well. On 3/3/06, Martin Arver <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I would suggest Ubuntu as good Linux dis

I would suggest Ubuntu as good Linux distribution. As it is based on Debian, the package system is imho incredibly good. Haven't used Fedora, but I guess that it is a .rpm based distro which as far as I know is not up to par with .deb. Ubuntu is also very easy to install and is functional straight

I suggest you install Linux (Debian is really easy) and use that. I started off using cygwin and found it painfully slow (on my PIII 600) but after installing Debian, everything worked much faster and was more enjoyable. Daniel Stenberg wrote: On Thu, 2 Mar 2006, roolku wrote: I am working
