[techtalk] windoze-based distros

[Lilly S.]

I've used Mandrake for Linux, and I should say, I'm not overly
impressed. It just installs it in a directory under Windows, and then when
you need to boot into that, the computer actually shuts down, and reboots
into that. I didn't like that very much. VMWare is supposed to solve that
problem, though I haven't tried it yet.
