In such case dual boot is out of question. You definitively need virtualisation (as me ;-). So after all, if you have 1Go Ram or more, just download vmware server and try it on the first (real) computer you find. Best regards, Samuel NB: I have no commertial involvment in VMware, it only a good software with a free server version. I you like experience, you can try Qemu, a great software for virtualisation, but better under linux than under windows, fully open source. <div style="font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">----- Message d'origine ---- De : Marcin Balcerzyk <m.balcerzyk@pluri.ucm.es> À : Samuel BURG <samuel_burg@yahoo.fr> Envoyé le : Lundi, 21 Avril 2008, 12h49mn 18s Objet : Gate on VMware Windows server <style>  </style> <div class="Section1"> Dear Samuel,   Could you offer some more details about this way of installing Gate? For example: what Windows you check that this is working, how powerful the hardware should be compared to regular Linux installation, what Linux you can install this way, how does this type of installation works compared to simple (or dual boot) Linux installation on the same hardware, drivers issue, disk format (NTFS vs. Linux partitions) etc.   I once worked on VM windows, but that was I think a remote session to a Windows server. My experience was that it was a slow thing. I would like to buy a machine which would work in Windows and Linux, but dual boot seems to me to slow a mode for changing applications. I need Linux for Gate and Windows for PMOD and other software. Ideal thing would be Linux simulating Gate working in background of Windows… I have lengthy simulations (days) and urgent short things in Windows. In such case dual boot is out of question.   Best regards   Marcin Balcerzyk Instituto Pluridisciplinar Univesrsidad Complutense de Madrid Paseo Juan XXIII no. 1 28-040 Madrid tel. +34 91 3943261 España - Spain   Message: 1 Date: Fri, 18 Apr 2008 11:48:01 +0000 (GMT) From: Samuel BURG <samuel_burg@yahoo.fr> Subject: Re : [Gate-users] Installation of GATE on Windows XP?
