Re: Linux interest group




Why would you suggest this instead of creating a linux
partition on the more modern computer that is already
taking up space in most of our offices?

Getting Linux and, say, Win95 to play nicely together is more
complicated than a straight Linux install. But not impossible.
Just maybe too big a hurdle for a new user to tackle without
getting discouraged.


If anybody is interested in trying this dual boot configuration,
probably the easiest way to achieve it is using a product called
Partition Magic. It contains IBM boot manager as a subset and
creating dual boot (or even triple boot if you want to wade into NT)
is nearly trivial. I think the street price is about $50.
