Haha, I know. They said they have some kind of deal with MS. I think it's really unfair as we don't do anything Linux until year 2 I think. We do however have a couple of labs with Fedora 7 machines :) Thanks for the warnings about security stuff, I had thought about it but not realised it was necessary.

<br>on security software e.g. avg anti-virus
free, spyware blaster (free),<br>spybot (free) and keep them updated. It is such a pain in setting up a<br>Windoze virtual machine after installation, it takes a lot of time<br>adding the extras, it is great putting on a Linux Mint virtual machine
<br>where all you have to do is the updates (All codecs are in the<br>installallation). For the past few days I have been playing about with<br>Revisor in Fedora 7 where you can make your own customised CD,DVD, Live<br>CD/DVD by downloading separate packages from different Fedora
<br>Repositories, Fedora is the only distribution where you can define<br>individual packages at installation using the Anaconda installer (unless<br>someone tells me otherwise). With Revisor you can make an install DVD<br>
with all propriety codecs, like Linux Mint, or make a server only<br>distribution within minimum software packages that can run out of the<br>box. In fact you can make anything that you want to run out of the box,<br>this intrigues me.
I will probably be playing with this for the next few<br>weeks.<br><br>Gordon<br><br>chris wyllie wrote:<br>><br>> Basically, is it a viable option to set up a virtual machine running<br>> winXP to do my windows development on?
