[techtalk] windoze-based distros

[Angela Nash]

VMware works fine under NT4 with no partitioning needed.  That's the great
thing about it.  It's an entire virtual machine.  It uses a large file as
it's partition, and works great with sound and network support.

I've run Debian and Mandrake under it, as well as Win98.

Thanks to everyone for the suggestions.  Unfortunately I have to run NT 4.0
and am not in a position to go reformatting /partitioning, etc for a
'traditional' distro, so VMware doesn't seem appropriate.

I thought Phatlinux might work, but that's only good for win95 and 98.
WinLinux2000 (winlinux2000.com) does not explicitly say it will or won't
work with NT, so I gave it a shot, but so far I've not had a great deal of
luck with getting it to boot properly.  Really, I'm just taking comfort in
the fact that I can do whatever the hell I want with my home machine!
