[Liverpool] Multi-Boot Query

[Andy Carter]

Hi Scott,

My advice would be to try virtualisation, unless you particularly need 
every ounce of performance your machine offers within each OS.  My 
personal preference is for VMware Workstation running on Ubuntu, 
although one of my colleagues is more than happy with VirtualBox.

Kind Regards

Andy
