Amen to that! Rebooting to test in Windows was such a nuisance for me that I actually went and PAID for a copy of VMware Workstation. Whilst VirtualBox has now reached a reasonable level of maturity, I don't regret my purchase. All from the comfort of my regular Debian/Fluxbox desktop, I can have XP Home, NT4, Win98, DOS6.22, FreeBSD booted and on my second monitor (actually my laptop display) in seconds. No way would I ever go back - virtualisation rocks! Barring the testing in various versions of IE which my work demands, it's a handy way to run iTunes ;-) Cheers M PS - now it only remains for me to get one of my TWO corrupt (legitimate MSFT) copies of XP Pro to install. -- Matthew Smith Smiffytech - Technology Consulting & Web Application Development Business: http://www.smiffytech.com/ Blog/personal: http://www.smiffysplace.com/ LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/smiffy Skype: msmiffy Twitter: @smiffy -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
