Im liking my Vista and all, and its great for my games, but I want to start using Linux more.

I had it installed on another partition, but I never booted into it, because it was inconvenient to have to restart when I wanted to game.

I figure I would just run it as a VM, but Im not sure which VM app I want to use.

Any personal favorites?

I understood every other word you said.

So you have a Mac and you use vista. That is about all I got.

Where did I mention having a .Mac?

People use virtualization on all OS's.

All the VM experience I have is irritating and bad memories. Having it be a 2nd partition is the way to go.

Well, what did you use, so I know what to avoid? lol

My friend uses MS's VM app for running XP, and he loves it, but Ive tried it, and its fine on XP, but not that great for Linux.

Im thinking of just using VMWare, or Virtual Box.

PCMag did a thing on virtualization a few months ago, and Im going to look that up to.

I dont know what issue it was, and my dad tends to take my back issues to work and they get left there in his office, so Im making him look for it tonight.
