I've never used colinux, but why is vmware a preferable choice than colinux? I would think that it would be much easier to get something that felt like a native windows application with colinux. I also think that it makes more sense in the long term (that is, virtualization is the wave of the future. VMWare looks good for the moment, but it doesn't appear to me to make much sense on the desktop -- we need *application level* virtualization to make things feel good on the desktop. Perhaps VMWare does more than I think, but I always thought it just provided a mass window to a pseudo-machine and didn't allow sensible window-manager-like support.)
Anyhow, an idea that builds on this is to build some X application instead of the notebook (ok, I'll admit I'm not a fan of the web notebook) and distribute a free x-server for windows with SAGE for windows. I believe that there might be an x-server out there which could make this feel like a very native solution. Of course, there's still the file transfer problem ... that is, the file system of colinux is distinct from the windows file system. -- Joel --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URLs: http://sage.scipy.org/sage/ and http://modular.math.washington.edu/sage/ -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
