Replies gotdilbert Posted at 11:39 pm on Oct. 19, 2003 The easiest solution is to multi-boot. I have a laptop with a 60 gig hard drive, and I'm happy with a Redhat installation with Windows XP and a GRUB boot loader, which makes the multi-booting process so much easier.  Another commonly available boot-loader is LILO.  Most linux osses have their own customized boot loaders, in this case, I personally think that the GRUB boot loader for redhat linux 9 is much nicer both graphically and functionally. vitamin Posted at 3:26 pm on May 31, 2003 Not a problem if there is Just Pm me.. tybalt Posted at 2:48 am on May 30, 2003 OK thanks. vitamin Posted at 2:35 am on May 30, 2003 Use either a Hardware ISA modem... if u have an old box or I use a 56K external Modem.... They work great... tybalt Posted at 1:44 pm on May 28, 2003 I would move over permanently but I can't get a modem to work.  All the modems I've tried seem to be winmodems.  Does anyone know of a modem that would work with linux (56k) and where I could buy one?  I'm in the UK. Thanks  :) vitamin Posted at 2:56 pm on May 27, 2003 Yes I also use VMWare its well tidy... I highly recommend it for people wanting to learn as well... AndreBSD Posted at 11:47 am on May 25, 2003 Well if you need windows for something, just run vmware ontop of your *nix platform. I got freebsd 4.8 and run xp ontop of vmware2 (newest version to work on freebsd).. so i can still do my video chatting; though im glad wine almost runs it too :) Spanky Posted at 11:31 am on Feb. 22, 2003 yeah me 2 (amsn that is) shame it cant be iconised or summit. smiley Posted at 9:50 am on Feb. 22, 2003 Heh, the mp3 library is quite easy to install. I use aMSN :) Spanky Posted at 6:17 am on Feb. 22, 2003 Im using RH 8.0, luckily i dont do that much gaming, and the games i play (quake) u can get in linux neway. erm ive got another machin on win xp in another room just in case. they didnt ship RH 8.0 with ANY mp3 decoding software    , but its all sorted now  :D kewl msn messenger rip-off for it as well. vitamin Posted at 2:52 am on Feb. 22, 2003 Umm yes what distro are you using...RedHat 8 or mandrake 9 is nice:) smiley Posted at 8:05 pm on Feb. 21, 2003 I've done that, however I agree with vitamin, you'll probably need Windows around for one thing or another.
