"andLinux is a complete Ubuntu Linux system running seamlessly in Windows 2000 based systems (2000, XP, 2003, Vista [32-bit only]) ... runs almost all Linux applications without modification."

Neat!

Peace...

Sounds cool, I'll have to give it a go.

* every user who can login to Windows can access andLinux.
* Linux applications and Windows applications can be used simultaneously and you can cut and paste text between them

...looks like merging windows and linux

I'll try this one, thanks The_Oracle

I fired it up, but I'm still having issues sharing drives with Linux. I haven't gotten the network to actually see my Windows network drives. Can't even ping them, must be a network configuration thing with the simulation.

[The_Oracle]

definitely an interesting approach. however, since you get almost every linux application now for windows (even Konquerer and Amarok found their way to the Windows platform) there is no real need to run these programs natively.

[JohnWill]

I came to the same conclusion and uninstalled it.

...I'm posting this using Konqueror

yes it's kinda neat, am still playing with it

It was not a very good idea to try an port any Linux kernel to Windows - anyway IMHO - a duplication of effort on the one hand, and nothing to gain from the effort.

Virtualization is the way to go with Xen or VMWare.

Yep, VMWARE works well for me with Linux.
