folks,
i have suse 10.0 installed, and i want things to stay that way. at the same time, i want to install windows xp. (please don't get into the "why do you need windows?" stuff. don't worry, i'm loyal to linux, but i need it--or rather my girlfriend does--from time to time. thanks!)
(snip) I recommend to run XP in a virtual machine (VMWare, or Parallels for 1/4 of the price) rather than dual booting if it is only lightly used. (Browsing, mailing, chatting) That way it runs cosily in a 4 GB sandbox (or larger if you wish) and you don't have to reboot each time you want to use windows. On top of that you have access to *both* the Linux and XP file systems using Samba. If you want to use it for watching movies then it's a different story.
