I ran Win XP Home Ubuntu 5.10 dual boot till the arrival of Dapper.



Built a Win 2K VMX, loaded VMWare Player, and now run Dapper with the
VMX on it for work I have to do with Windows software.



The VMX is, according to other sources, about 20% slower than native,
but on an FS 1425M with 1.25GB of RAM, it doesn't bother me.
