Yep, anyone who would pay for Ubuntu should have CHOOM tatooed across their forehead

So Z, you're usin an emulated version of Ubuntu through your Mac or is it actually a fully loaded OS separate of your Mac OS? I guess what I'm askin is it inside our along side your Mac OS?

I'm gonna hafta put together a dual boot Ubuntu/XP configuration so I can house all my companys XP crap on the new machine I built for the office. If I knew how to do it I'd emultae XP within an Ubuntu system, but I ain't near that slick with a keeboard.

Honestly I dunno how to even import the old XP system onto the new machine due the the friggin security key crap. I do have a corporate XP disc layin around a buddy gave me that is fully legal and has a valid key and all but I dunno if I can even import all the stuff from the old XP system into a fresh install without borgin it all.

If all I needed was the files, that's a no brainer but with all the MS based programs like Quick Books and such I am stuck with runnin a full blown XP OS to be able to run the stuff. I HATE proprietary programs for this very reason .... arrrrggghh
