Full Version: Windows running inside linux

I've seen many screenshots from linux users running windows with wine inside linux (no matter what bistro they were using).

My question is How can I do that and most important is if that the network services from windows work? thats because i have to switch between linux and windows depend of the application i required.

 

 

thank you.


sure ly you mean running windows APPLICATIONS using wine in linux,

 

yes, that works fine for quite a lot of applications, but not all

 

what applications are you interested in, and what distro of linux are you using/planning on using

 

to run windows itself (the operating system) within linux, would require a virtual operating system manager tool, like vmware, or perhaps xen (someday)

No, I mean windows within linux.

 

 

Using RH9

Win xp sp2

 

But if i use a virtual operating system manager tool will i have access to network resourses in both OS?.


Hi,

 

Its simple most users use VMware that will run the Windows family and run them as if it was on its own machine

as xdamox says use vmware,

 

however, get rid of RH9 as it is EOL (end of life) for a few years now, as in UNSUPPORTED

 

and that means,

 

out of date

insecure

behind the times

 

get yourself a copy of Fedora Core release 5, which is the 'modern' day equivalent of RH9, and very nice it is too

 

cheers
