Which Linux System for Virtual PC

[Dr. Strange]

Hello Group.

I have just purchased Microsoft's excellent Virtual PC and am keen to use it
to install a Linux operating system. Since there are so many different
flavours of Linux, and because not all of them can be used with Virtual PC,
could someone recommend one that is known to work with Virtual PC.

TIA.

Hi,

I have just purchased Microsoft's excellent Virtual PC and am keen to use
it
to install a Linux operating system. Since there are so many different
flavours of Linux, and because not all of them can be used with Virtual
PC,
could someone recommend one that is known to work with Virtual PC.

Maybe you should take a look at the microsoft.public.virtualpc newsgroup.

On the other hand, VMware Workstation is the far better product when you
need official support for multiple operating systems (Netware, Windows,
Linux, Solaris etc.)

Best regards, Romain

Don't try Fedora, it won't install. SuSE works fine as does Mandrake.

Thanks, Conor. I think I'll try SuSE.
