And what in the name of god is Linux XP ? i can help you install " Linux " alone with windows Vista or Xp alone with vista. But " Linux XP " doesn't exist.

I really suggest you wait a month or so for the next release of Ubuntu [8.04].
It will give you the oportunity to install Ubuntu Linux straight into Windows (like a normal windows program) or to another partion.

But if you open Ubuntu Inside windows like any other application, you won't be able to " install " Linux on your computer,you can only run it like a " live cd " or something, which means that if you install some programs in Ubuntu, the next time you open the OS with VMware or something like that, the programs you've installed before will be all gone.(correct me if i'm wrong)

Don't be so sure...
Just because you haven't heard of it, it doesn't mean it doesn't exist!

Bought the product off ebay, could have downloaded from the site if I wanted to wait 17 hours but thought best to just wait for the postman.
Anyway info on Linux xp - http://www.linux-xp.com/

 

But still none the wiser :neutral:

Man... here is the idea... all you gotta do is download Virtual Box, and attempt to install it from it... :boulay:

 

I guess it should work... To download Virtual Box, visit : http://www.virtualbox.org/
