Actually, I wasn't refering to your post AT ALL, I was mearly stating the fact that linux is widely compatable.anjanesh wrote:I was referring to Kieran's suggestion of using a VM on my current Windows OS to install Linux. I was wondering if I have Windows on one hard-disk, would it be possible to install a VM on a separate hard-disk which would also contain Linux.DaveTheAve wrote:Linux will run on ANYTHING including microwaves, cars, toys, cell-phones, ps2, xbox, iphones, ipods.... you get the idea.
Now to refer to you post, when I was using Windows, 8 months ago before I made the COMPLETE switch, I ran Windows XP and Ubuntu in a VM. My Windows XP ran on a SATA 3, and my VM was on a seperate IDE HD. Does that answer your question?
BTW: If you use a VM, get the free version, no need to pay $$$ just to run a single VM machine. VMware give the player out for free, and will give you free linux applicances to run in it.
