Boot and Run?Pendrivelinux 2009?inside 32bit Windows

I have an answer:
It will depend on your requirements. If you use Linux heavily e.g. development and internet, and little use on Windows for office use(i.e., excel) then it is better to run Windows as the guest OS and desktop Linux as the host. I recommend setting the memory of the Windows guest to a minimum of 2Gb or more, and 4Gb for the host and this will require a 64-bit Linux host.


But if you use Windows heavily for example gaming and any other Windows specific applications, then you must follow above in a reverse format with a recommendation that you will install a Windows 7 64-bit edition as the host.


Just my two-cents.

ok fair enough. but what if you administer both windows and *nix
servers (no games here)?

" but what if you administer both windows and *nix"?


My preference is to use a Linux desktop. Although I am managing only two Linux servers one for email and squid and the other two for legacy Win NT VM servers, your requirements might be different. You can manage Linux servers from any OS. In Linux, we can use the Terminal server client or rdesktop to view the Windows/NT servers/workstations, so there must be nothing that prevents you from using Linux to administer both Windows and Linux. To view Linux desktops and servers, I am using freenx server.
