Virtual computers in a virtual world.

| Even better is that while you are 
| evaluating this new and exiting version of, 
| say, Ubuntu, Mint, Fedora or Arch Linux, 
| your existing operating system is also 
| active and can be used at the same time. 
| Providing you have enough memory and CPU 
| power you can have more than one virtual 
| machine running concurrently. On my pretty 
| standard (sub standard by today's 
| standards) of an AMD 5200+ CPU and 2Gb ram 
| I have had three virtual machines running 
| side by side as well as my, at that time, 
| Debian operating system serving web pages 
| and managing email. With a good virtual 
| machine program, I use virtualBox myself, 
| you are only limited by the amount of hard 
| disk space and ram on your beast box.

Remix Linux: how to customise your install

,----[ Quote ]
| Mainstream Linux distro developers have to 
| make decisions that affect thousands of 
| potential users.
| 
| Should they include or remove a particular 
| package? Should they apply a patch that may 
| break compatibility with older machines?

The Virtues of Virtualization

| I've gotten some flack from a few of my
| readers over on Desktop Linux Reviews for
| using virtualization software to run Linux
| distros. Some people feel that
| virtualization is "cheating" or that it
| somehow it warps the review.

| Once you start playing with distros, you may
| become what is called a distro-hopper. They
| love playing with various Linux distros, and
| jump from one to the next, always looking
| for that special distro that will rock their
| world once and for all.
