Though, from the tone of your other messages, I am guessing that is not the solution you were looking for :-)I use Win4Lin in part to deal with this problem of commercial websites (such as banks and government) that are viewable or usable only with IE.
How does that work out? I have used VMWare in the past (at a lab where I did reasearch) and recently started using qemu. VMWare had good performance. I was even able to simultaneously run 4 or 5 VMs on a machine with an Athlon XP 1800+ and 512 MB RAM. qemu is very easy to get up and running, but it is a real resource hog. That is not a slight agains qemu, rather it is caused by the differing philosophies (VMWare does vitualization and executes mostly directly on the host CPU and only handles x86, where qemu is an emulator that can emulate x86, x86_64, Sparc, etc.). I am just wondering where Win4Lin fits into the batch. -- Roberto C. Sanchez http://familiasanchez.net/~sanchezr
