Questions about testing

["Mart Küng"]

Hi

I have a couple of questions about how to configure my machine when testing.
Is there a significant difference if any between testing in virtual
machine and installing on real hardware?

Would it be reasonable to dual boot version I'm testing with my regular
everyday system? I ask this because of my netbook: on my desktop I could
easily use virtual machine or change HDD-s. But netbook is to weak for
virtual machine and changing HDD seams to troublesome.
