Title: Virtual Operating system
Post by: Briguy on February 07, 2009, 01:19:20 PM

I want to get a free program that will allow me to run a virtual operating system on my xp machine. I would like to run Linux on it. How do I go about doing that?

I believe the new version of Uvuntu does just that. You can run it as an XP application.
