Re: [orca-list] Dualbooting Linux and Windows

["John G. Heim" <jheim math wisc edu>]

At the risk of rudely answering a different question than the one you 
asked, I personally would never config a dual boot again because setting 
up a virtual machine is so much easier. With a virtual machine, if 
anything goes wrong during  installation or boot, you can figure out 
what is going on by taking a screen capture and running it through an 
OCR program. After you are done with the setup, anytime you need Windows 
you just type in a command and there it is. No need to reboot and try to 
time the selection of your OS.

I always run Linux on my bare metal and then run Windows as a virtual 
machine. But you could probably get all the same benefits by doing it 
the other way around.
