Re: [LUG] Wanting to really put an effort to learn Linux properly.

hi matt,

i've used vmware and think you should bear in mind that vmware can have 
some complications when it comes to the peripherals and networking - and 
also you are running on windows 2000 so odd things will happen (i work 
with win2k every day) - and these odd things could cause you lots of 
grief/time.  my advice - sorry if this is a repeat - is to get a spare 
hard drive and try out a linux install on that.  if you get a disk caddy 
then swapping drives is fairly painless,
