Thank you for the clarification.

I fail to recognize the merit of this idea of increasing complexity.
Isn't Winders unstable enough without bringing down both ?

Why not use a KVM switch and put both, but separate, on a local LAN ?

Appreciatively,

Courtney

&gt; I used Win4Lin for a little bit a few years ago.  All it really does is
&gt; run windows from inside of linux.  When I used it, I installed win98 on
&gt; it.  Therefore I know that you can run win95 programs as I used to do
&gt; that quite regularily.  However, I have since forgotten what the support
&gt; for NT4 is.  One thing to note though is that it's that you actually
&gt; have to reinstall Windows inside of win4lin (ala VMWare) so you will
&gt; still have to run windows, but it will be windows running inside of
&gt; linux.

&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;As a long time Win4Lin customer, I look forward to trying it out and
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;potentially leaving Win98 for windows apps behind!
