using andLinux (for windows)
For those of us out there who have been using windows for far too long, switching operating systems is not the best choice. andLinux (check out the screen shots!) is a way for most people to keep windows and still have all the features of a linux box; without the hassles of a typical virtual machine. The cool thing is andLinux is not just for development, it runs almost all Linux applications without modification.
andLinux is a complete Ubuntu Linux system running seamlessly in Windows 2000 based systems (2000, XP, 2003, Vista, 7; 32-bit versions only).
