"If Linux runs on every architecture, why should another operating system be in its way? "
Cooperative Linux is the first working free and open source method for optimally running Linux on Microsoft Windows natively. More generally, Cooperative Linux (short-named coLinux) is a port of the Linux kernel that allows it to run cooperatively alongside another operating system on a single machine. For instance, it allows one to freely run Linux on Windows 2000/XP, without using a commercial PC virtualization software such as VMware, in a way which is much more optimal than using any general purpose PC virtualization software. In its current condition, it allows us to run the KNOPPIX Japanese Edition on Windows (see [url="http://www.colinux.org/?section=screenshots"]Screenshots[/url]).

Love is all a matter of timing.
It's no good meeting the right person too soon or too late.
If I'd live in another time or place...
...my story might have had a very different ending.

wine only works to an extent. it's designed to emulate predefined types of code, not all programs will work under wine. I think I'll try and download this version of linux too, since im constantly coding, it will be nice to be able to run it into the linux environment to test a program and make it cross compatible, instead of having a dual boot or two machines. thanks for the info =)
