> ... that i can dual boot on my home system for testing?

I''ve witnessed so many horror stories with dual-boot systems, I''ve become reluctant to recommend such a setup. The easiest and safest way would be to open up a front slot for a hard disk tray and switch drives. It would cost you $20 for the tray system plus the cost of a new hard disk.

Well, dual boot works for me, and from what I''ve heard lots of other people too.

The following statement is true. The previous statement is false.

Knoppix. It''s a bootable CD with Linux, KDE, and pretty much everything else. Although to save to your hard drive it''ll need to be FAT32 formatted and not NTFS (I believe, I haven''t tried with NTFS).

ISOs are available at the site or at LinuxISO.

I always have the best luck dual booting with 2 seperate harddrives. So take one from one of your slow old boxes, and use it.

I would say use *BSD; FreeBSD is a popular server distro, OpenBSD is my favorite and the easiest to get up and running. And BTW, OpenBSD''s documentation absolutely smokes that of any other OS I have come across.

The Tyr project is here.

Anything similar to VMWare that would work with Windows ME? I know..I know.. don''t criticize. Just don''t want to spend the money it would cost to upgrade my systems when I get along perfectly fine as it is with ME except for this one piece of software so far.

Otherwise, I''m still left with the single option of dual booting the OS which would be a big pain in the atma weapon at this time

Try this:
http://bochs.sourceforge.net/

or this:
http://plex86.sourceforge.net/

I haven't used bochs recently and have never used plex86, but it's free so at the most you'll lose the time it takes to download.

Looked at the bochs stuff and read through the documentation. Honestly must say that I''m confused as to how it runs. downloaded the installer for it and tried to run it but from there I''m a bit stuck.

I think I''l start making a system backup and just do a fresh install of Windows ME then dual boot Red Hat with it. I think that would be the most efficient method. Not to mention would be necessary in order to actually get some benchmarks for my code on a real machine instead of a virtual machine.

Might later on invest in Windows XP and VMWare as I think that would work nicely. Just a bit over my head with bochs as of now. Might understand it better after I read more but still don''t think it would be the best way for me to work at this time.

Thanks though,
Webby
