Options for Hosting Linux on Windows 7
What options are there for hosting linux on Windows 7?
I think vmware will work.
Windows Virtual PC will work.
What about XEN?
Apparently HyperV won't work because I don't have Windows 7 server installed.
What do I google search for: hypervisors?
What do you recommend?
I want to install and run oracle database and java and eclipse on linux. I only have a windows machine. Which is easier: installing bootable linux on a SD flash card or hosting via XEN or vmware?
Are some linux distros better guests on Windows 7 than others?
Thanks,
Siegfried

I believe that VirtualBox runs on Win7 now. That's what I'd use.
Sometimes, real fast is almost as good as real time.
Just remember, Semper Gumbi - always be flexible!

I second that suggestion. Simply the best free VM out there, in my opinion. It's all I use any more.
