when you get your VM working with XP then try this<br>http://autopatcher.com/<br><br>well, I used to use this all the time, it was amazing, basically <br>patch your system without you having to go and get patches from all of the place,<br><br>unfortunately I check the web site I find this..<br><br>'Today we received an e-mail from Microsoft, requesting the immediate take-down of the download page, which of course means that AutoPatcher is probably history. As much as we disagree, we can do very little, and although the download page is merely a collection of mirrors, we took the download page down. '<br><br>you may be able to find a download somewhere else! :-((<br><br>Looks like microsoft doesn't like people designing tools for<br>their operating system. <br><br>It's really weird that at university, they are completely 'sold' by microsoft, FORCING students to learn microsoft products at uni, what the hell?<br><br>Shouldn't a computing degree be about computing, and
not about corporate brand names from a corporation that activities are illegal?<br><br>How long before our Uni receives a linux take down notice? hahahahaha<br><br>Laters,<br><br><br><br><br><br><b><i>Daniel Lamb <daniel.lamb@dlcomputing.co.uk></i></b> wrote:<blockquote class="replbq" style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px;"> For a good free(opensource) av use moon secure av, I wouldn't necessarily<br>bother about spyware as you are unlikely to surf, please moon secure will<br>pick up a lot of spyware as well.<br><br>Regards,<br>Daniel<br><br>-----Original Message-----<br>From: dundee-bounces@mailman.lug.org.uk<br>[mailto:dundee-bounces@mailman.lug.org.uk] On Behalf Of gordon dunlop<br>Sent: 03 October 2007 23:42<br>To: Tayside Linux User Group<br>Subject: Re: [dundee] Virtualisation, any wise words?<br><br>I also must mention that on your Windoze virtual machine you have to put<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?<br><br><br><br>_______________________________________________<br>dundee GNU/Linux Users Group mailing list<br>dundee@lists.lug.org.uk http://dundee.lug.org.uk<br>https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/dundee<br>Chat on IRC, #tlug on dundee.lug.org.uk<br><br><br><br>_______________________________________________<br>dundee GNU/Linux Users Group mailing list<br>dundee@lists.lug.org.uk http://dundee.lug.org.uk<br>https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/dundee<br>Chat on IRC, #tlug on dundee.lug.org.uk<br></blockquote><br><p>
