I would second for virtualbox. I have a virtualbox virtual machine with TinyXP installed inside it which I use for running programs which won't run on linux, and I've never had any problems. You probably need about 5GB of disk space, I guess this is not too bad for you. I think this might be the best option, as depending on how advanced the usage of flash will be, it might require features that might not be available in the OSS clones, given that flash is a propreitory format. Plus, working with the same app should mean that he'll be able to open the files at school. I'm not very familiar with wine though, it may be that the app in question runs well under wine, in which case this may be a better option. PErsonally I prefer to keep the windows bit isolated. -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
