duel use

  Date: Dec 26    Category: Unix / Linux / Ubuntu    Views: 328
  

While we have recently had a lot of ideas about using wubi and grub for
duel booting. I find that for my use and the fact that I need to be able
to run more that one system the use of extra hardware makes life much
simpler.

I have three computers. A powerful AMD tower running XP, an older Intel
running Hardy Heron and a laptop running Vista. These are all linked to
a router for ISP connection. Tower via Ethernet and laptop via wireless.
All three are connected to a KVM changer to one keyboard, mouse and
monitor, so with one button I can change backwards and forwards between
the three systems at will.

When I take the laptop out with me I have Hardy Heron via wabi installed
with Vista as duel boot.

A smart way to go, IMHO, I'll second that philosophy.

I have my most powerful machine running 7.10, a lesser machine running
XP, and two even older ones running 6.06, and Centos 4 (a Red Hat
Clone). I have the first three on a KVM switch, the last one on its
own monitor and keyboard. My laptop dual-boots Linux and Windows, and
is never hooked to the KVM switch.

The 6.06 machine is a backup server with a large external disk, and
the Centos machine is used by my wife, almost exclusivley for web
browsing.

I run vmware on the primary Linux machine as well, but use it mostly
to experiment with new Linux distros.
