Would you not have to shutdown and change the boot sequence every time you wanted to use one or the other [/quote] NoJive, I'm not a big fan of dual boot machines, so I haven't done one in a while, but my experience has always been that when you have two different operating systems on a machine, the boot loader (that will probably be GRUB) will pause for a few seconds as the machine is booting and allow you to select the operating system you want to load. If you don't select one, it will automatically load the default OS. The length of time the boot loader waits and the default OS are both configurable. My experience has always been that to switch from one OS to the other, you need to re-boot the machine. Unless there have been some really dramatic changes with loading OSs in the last couple of years, you can't just switch from one OS to the other the way you would from one window to another. The exception to this is when you are running an emulator. For example, if you run Windows programs in Wine while you're running Linux, you can switch from Linux to your windows programs without re-booting, but that is not really a dual boot system. . -- not necessarily stoned... just beautiful.
