Re: [orca-list] Accessible distros

[Christopher Chaltain <chaltain gmail com>]

When we ran Linux and Windows at work, this was about 15 years ago, we 
ran Windows at the host operating system and Linux in the virtual 
machine. We found that Windows liked to assume it had exclusive use of 
the hardware so it was more problematic getting it to run in a virtual 
machine. Linux, on the other hand, seemed to run much better and with 
fewer problems in the virtual machine.


Since then, for home use, I've run Linux on the bare metal and Windows 
in a virtual machine, and I found this to be satisfactory. Of course, I 
had to have the hardware resources to support this.


Bottom line is that I'd listen to Kyle.
