I donated 2 of my older pc's to charity. So for now, I'm using Linux via live cd or virtualization.
Here is Ubuntu 8.10 in the free VMWare Server within my laptop's Vista Home Premium host.
I'm also using VMWare Server in my main XP Home pc and Virtual Box for OSX to run Linux distros.
Add: Vista does fine as host even with just 2GB ram. VMWare seems to have problems with my laptop's Realtek HD audio. As a result, Ubuntu is soundless. Internet works fine, though including YouTube videos albeit without sound. VmWare sound works fine in my XP Home desktop pc which has an Audigy card installed.
Incidentally, my first experience with Linux was Slackware 3.4 circa 1995-1996....... That was a tough one to get going.
