[wellylug] RE: Other Options for Win

[Sam Cannell]

Sorry to drag up an old email, but I managed to miss it the first time
around.

I saw this on Slashdot today - it's the first I'd ever heard of it.  I
don't have a Linux partition on my laptop at the moment, so I wasn't
able to actually boot anything, but http://plaz.net.nz/colinux.txt shows
the kernel attempting to boot.

Most impressive, imho. :)

I'll have a play with it tonight and see what I can make it do.

Cheers,

Sam

Has anyone heard about or have experience with either of the following:

coLinux - http://www.colinux.org/ - "Cooperative Linux is the first
working free and open source method for optimally running Linux on
Microsoft Windows natively. More generally, Cooperative Linux
(short-named coLinux) is a port of the Linux kernel
<http://www.kernel.org>  that allows it to run cooperatively alongside
another operating system on a single machine."
