Re: Comments VMWare?
I used to do something similar, but I also needed complete portability of
the Windows system in "standalone" mode. So I put the data files back on
the Windows machine, but added automatic backups - using Second Copy
(Windows shareware) - from Windows to Linux, through Samba. Now, when
Windows is _on_ the network. my important stuff is backed up onto Linux.
When _off_ of the network, Windows still works fine. (If I had been more
ambitious, I'm sure I could have scripted my way around having to use Second
Copy.)
