Linux for Windows to surf the net? Using an emulator?
Anybody tried using a software emulator like VMware to run Linux under
Windows? I'm installing it now, and wonder if you can "surf the net" with an emulator without having to tweak your internet modem. RL |

RL Yes everybody that hasn't been born yesterday. google is your friend. lots of videos in www.youtube.com You can run windopws expee in virtual box downloadable from www.virtualbox.org and windopws runs faster than on a real machine (except with bit banging video and 3D graphics operations). So things like windopws surfing, email, spreadsheet, wordprocessing etc run a lot quicker in virtualbox on Linux than the other way around. The latest versions of virtualbox allow USB connect through from Linux into the windopws emulation and windopws works just fine. Occasionally windopws blue screens just as in real life, but if you took back up of the virtual machine hard disk, then you can just copy over the crashed virtual machine hard disk file, and everything is restored. When the screen is maximised, there is no way for the windummy to guess if they are working on a real machine or a virtual machine running in Linux. The simulation is that good. |

RL Why bother? You've posted 1000 times that you hate Linux and it's terrible I do. But if I can surf the net from a sandboxed app it's worth it. Just loaded VMWare now...let me see what happens when I click the icon. Oh wow. I did not realize that VMWare actually wants you to build a virtual machine using an installation disk. I thought it was preloaded with various OSes. So my next question: what ISO for Linux should I use when building my Virtual Machine? Which is the most stable? Remember I'm running this VMWare under Windows 7 on hardware that can emulate virtual stuff. RL |

I am surprised you did not know that, frankly. -- Good one Snit. And I bet this guy has never used VMware Player either...just your typical blowhard know-it-all that knows nothing. If you have a favorite OS to use in WM Ware let me know. I might load XP onto it (running VWWare under 7) and one flavor of Linux--but which one? RL |
