I used to use VMWare quite a lot, but now I use VNC.
this is good if you have another machine running
windows on it - just install the VNC server and you
can access it across the network. :)

Knoppix is excellent. Highly recommended. It is great
for just getting Linux working on a machine. The
hardware detection is incredible. :)

Being completely objective (!!), I would suggest Linux
Format - there is always something interesting and
usefull to read in there. Linux Magazine is good but
more technical and Linux User is more enterprise
based. It is indeed a fiver to grab one of these, but
I think with Linux Format you pretty much get your
moneys worth. :)

Spot on.
