Dual-Boot Ubuntu And Windows XP Professional

Vista Vs Ubuntu: This Time, It's Virtual
Blog Of course, I can't just put a Windows OS on my Ubuntu machinery - don't have an unused Genuine Windows Advantage XP or Vista, and to reuse anything would be against the licence. Haven't had time to do any performance testing, but subjectively...

Ubuntu On Fujitsu Lifebook S6510
Blog If that works, I could even consider setting up the S6510 with three partitions, for Ubuntu, XP and Vista, so that I can go back and try Vista again from time to time, to see if the latest updates have improved that situation.

Monolithic OS Upgrades Are So Over
Blog I am also waiting to get my hands on Ubuntu 7.10 to see how it deals with Centrino Pro and the other new bits of technology on my particular laptop that may make for some interesting driver hunts. But if I can find all the drivers I need for Ubuntu...

More Pleasant Surprises With Ubuntu
Blog If all of that works, I'll keep Ubuntu on that one, and swap the S2110 back to the Windows XP Pro disk.jw 3/6/2008 The Citrix Presentation Server Client is definitely much more stable on Ubuntu than it is on Windows.

Why I've Moved From Vista To Ubuntu 7.10
Blog Comment I did however get the games that were not running correctly under Vista to work fine under the WINE Windows Emulator included with Ubuntu! Ubuntu also runs faster, looks nicer than the new Vista Aero desktop, and uses FAR fewer resources.

Vista Versus The Gutsy Gibbon - Ubuntu 7.10
Blog Comment And of course, Ctr+Alt+D does the same in ubuntu.o) It works in Vista and XP, and there's no need to Win+Shift+D to bring your windows back (like Win+Shift+U)! Win+D - Give me my windows back! Why not use Win+D?

I Will Blog, Despite Vista's Best Efforts
Blog Until Microsoft truly gets that, I'll be sticking Ubuntu - or XP as a backup if I really need to run Windows. I could easily reboot into Ubuntu, and in fact was abot to so so, but something occurred to me.
