Lionel :
1) sorry but i have very little time at the moment
because i have to make my (long) vacation preparations.
2) i installed a year ago linux on my laptop in a
dual boot with W98 and it was very stable
but timeconsuming to learn and couldnot find
all the necessary drivers .
after a while i needed the extra diskspace so i deleted
it from my hd.
(the dual boot between W98 and Linux is something
as the dual boot between W98 and W2K :
although W2K has many other facilities then W98
both are in operating "look alikes", in the first case
we are talking about 2 different OS with both learning
curves (much more time consuming).
3) vmware needs a lot of resources (then works ok)
and about
the windows emulators : al very interesting but
until now i never heard of anybody who has a least
half a year experience running metastock
(incl. the usual problems) under linux
(or other unix look-a-like) or other OS .
if there is somebody : i am eager to hear that.
4) because W2K is a reasonable stable environment
and i invested lots of time in it W2K is the OS for
the coming time for me but we all need the possibility
to be independ of one monopolistic firm (in the long
run for absolutely sure).
CU
Theo.
