    Hi, I'm new

    Heyhey

    I'm new to the forums, but not so new to linux. I've made my laptop a dual boot, which I try to see as a temporary solution until I can get everything I use to work on Ubuntu.

    I'm a slow learner, but in a way it's fun to tinker with your machine and find the solution yourself.

    So, hey, nice to meet you all.

    Hello and welcome aboard. I already responded to you once but some genius decided my greeting to you was actually a "brand new" post so he moved it. That pretty much exemplifies the luck I've had with this forum but maybe your luck will be different from mine. Hope so anyway.

    That was me, I didn't intend for you to be unlucky in any way, I thought you just wanted to introduce yourself. Sorry.

    Thumbs up welcome newbie

    You can get Virtual Box and run windows inside of Linux and dump the dual boot stuff
    . . It is what I do ( I use Ubuntu 9.10 and latest virtual box ) you have to go to root terminal and type the following EXACTLY or is does not work
    VBOX_USB=USBFS VirtualBox and then install your version of windows and in the setup part I use 1/3 of my laptops memory ( 4 gig DDR2 ) for windows thats 1.2 gig and 1/2 of the video for windows . . Plus install the guest additions for letting windows use some of the Items pluged into ( also got to make a shared folder on the Linux desk top and set it up for the way for windows to share files )
