| Is there any sort of Linux simulator that can be loaded onto a Win32 box out there that is worth a damn? Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks! | |

| Simulated Linux? Isn't that kinda like simulated sex?
Your best bet is to put a seperate box together and install Linux on it. It can be something as low as a 386. It doesn't take much. You need the practice with installs.
Half measures avail us nothing. | |

| You mean something like knoppix? | |

Yeah, well...in a perfect world that would be the answer. Problem is for the situation I have that is not a viable option and a simulator would be more an answer...this is not for a certification but something lese it would take too long to explain.
Thanks anyway | |

Looks like Knoppix will do the trick. Will download and give it a shot. Thanks very much for the info.
Have you used it much? Anything I need to be aware of?
Thanks again! | |

| knoppix is great but I never could figure out how to operate as root. This does restrict you.
When you make your knoppix cd, make sure you make it a boot disk to get it to work. | |

| Hmmmm...I tried it last night, but it did not boot. Just the autorun portion came up after Windows started. I used Fireburner to make it from the ISO. Should I use Nero and set an option to make it bootable? Sorry for the dumb questions, but I have never had to make a bootable CD-ROM before.
Thanks! | |

| Interesting about the root issue. Have you ever tried Morphix? Seems to have the same idea, but not sure if it works any better.
Thanks! | |

| Try www.vmware.com
Install the vmware in the Win32 box and you can create a virtual PC inside, then you can install the Linux. Plus you can create many virtual PC and have them network together. They have evaluation. |
