Re: Linux

[Kari Eveli lexitec@xxxxxxxx]

This is a good suggestion, and I agree that Linux is easy and powerful.
But there is an easier way to work with Linux on your Win 7 or 8
desktop. Just download a virtual appliance into VirtualBox or VMware.
Or if you prefer, install it yourself from an ISO file instead of
burning it.


See: http://virtualboximages.com/ and http://www.thoughtpolice.co.uk/vmware/
