cygwin is not for the timid IMHO.

I wouldn't recommend cygwin to a "newbie" in linux.. cygwin is mostly good for cross-compilation and software stuff for developers.. not really for running an entire linux Distro I don't think.


Bunanson: Depends on the hardware. A fast computer will run 1 virtual just fine.. I do the exact reverse.. I only use Linux at my house.. 2 Debian, 1 Gentoo servers; 3 Ubuntu workstations, various other flavors of linux as toy boxes.. and One, measley little Windows Box that runs in a Virtual Machine on an Ubuntu Box (2ghz Centrino, 2gb memory).. runs just Fine.
