Comparing windows and Linux installations
,----[ Quote ]
| I have this computer. It came with windows
| xp pre-installed. I formatted it and
| installed CentOS Linux for some tests. The
| computer was then needed for an employee so
| we put windows xp back on. This is a step by
| step comparison of installation of the two
| operating systems on the exact same
| hardware.

| [...]
|
| Total time taken for windows? One day.
| Stress level reached? Out past Mars's orbit.
| Peace of mind installing Linux? Priceless.

Free (libe) means simple; proprietary means complicated.
Reviewed: Parallels Desktop 4 for Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| After conquering the desktop virtualisation
| space on the Mac, Parallels has decided to
| take the fight to VMware with a client for
| Windows and Linux desktops. But unlike the
| bi-polar world of the Mac (with Parallels
| and VMware being the only options),
| Parallels faces a multi-pronged attack on
| Linux, from proprietary brethren like
| VMware's Workstation, and free-to-download
| options such as Sun's VirtualBox.
