Well, I finally got around to configuring CoLinux (cooperative Linux) that I mentioned earlier and I am quite impressed. I can now run Linux sessions in a window on my Win2K machine. It’s like VMWare, but free.
I’ve booted the sample Debian image and also the Fedora Linux partition I’ve got on the other side of the dual-boot machine. Neither one is perfect for this setup, however (the fstab must be tweaked to point to virtual colinux devices, rather than physical ones), so I’m going to create a fresh Fedora image to use for testing.
Now all I need is an X client for Windoze and I can run graphical Linux apps straight from Windows. Pretty cool stuff.
