So basically I install my favorite distro of Linux.  Download and install the compatible version of virtualbox.  Then install XP in the virtualbox. Would I be able to open an instance of XP in a window?  Like opening multiple browser tabs?  That way I would be able to go back and forth between Windows and Linux. ------------------------ Keith Smith --- On Mon, 9/13/10, Ariel Gold wrote: From: Ariel Gold Subject: Re: going M$ free To: "Main PLUG discussion list" Date: Monday, September 13, 2010, 9:25 AM I also run virtualbox for IE testing. I run tinyxp, which runs blazing fast (not that i've done any benchmarking...) 2010/9/13 Roderick Ford I keep a WinXP box running in a vm on my Fedora 7 (yes, due to be upgraded), then anytime I need windows I can just use KRDC to show the desktop and test all the browsers there.

The main issue I have is I am a LAMP dev and find it awkward to run IE in wine.  I need IE to test how things look and work in IE.  The other issue I had is I really like PSpad.  It is my favorite editor.  I spend so much time in Linux anymore it almost makes sense to go M$ free. How do you check how sites resulve in IE if you run only linux?
