[Show suggestion] Dual Booting

[potatoj316]

Perhaps you prefer to use your Ubuntu computer for web browsing and checking email or word processing but you have to use some programs that will only run on windows. Sure there are windows emulators like wine available but their not as good as the real thing. A show that demonstrates how to set up your computer to dual boot windows xp or vista and Ubuntu or whatever your favorite Linux disto is would be helpful. Maybe talk about options for boot loaders like the pros and cons of different ones.

You could also go the other way, and use Virtual PC for Ubuntu... just saying.

Dual boot would make a decent sub-systm, cause dual booting really isn't difficult.

Dual-Boot isn't as interesting to me as virtualization. Show the pros and cons or even how to fix certain issues (it's a pain to get Ubuntu working with VirtualPC for example).

yeah, if you want to do a dual boot just go watch the digg front page for an hour and you'll probably see three stories on how to do it :p

How bout Dual Booting with OSX and Windows on a Windows pc. That would be alittle harder than Linux/Windows wouldn't it?
