Triple Booting

[Paul Harper]

Thanks for the reply. I was aware of VMware but don't
have the cash. This is my personal laptop. At work I
am compelled to use Windows XP. Although Linux is
sneaking in behind the scenes here as well for
firewalls, etc.. I also tried QEMU but found it a bit
sluggish. It will be interesting how Xen pans out
also.

At the moment this meets my needs so I thought it was
worth sharing. 

Thanks for the reply,

TTFN,
