My laptop can dual-boot. None of my other machines have M$ on them.
Well, a couple of them did at one time, but no longer! Really, I've
found very, very few things that I can't do under Linux or vmware (or
even win4lin).
Very cool. What model laptops are they? I'm told the T40 from IBM
is completely compatible. I look to buy one of them, one day.
I'm using a Fujitsu Lifebook C2220. It's 18 months old or so. 2.4GHz
P4, 512MB RAM, 60GB HD, 1400x1050 display, 10/100Base-T and 802.11b
wireless (Broadcom chipset used under ndiswrapper), DVD/CD-RW, floppy
AND a real, honest-to-gosh serial port (hallelujah!). It has a farking
winmodem in it that's not supported well. That's not really a stopper,
as I rarely use modems and have several _real_ modems laying about which
plug into the serial port very nicely when I do need one.
The dual boot has WinXP Pro and FC1 via grub. I'll be upgrading to FC2
this weekend if I have time after I get the radiator changed out on my
1970 E-Type (grumble, grumble!).
