    Linux compatibility with windows?

    I like thumb drives myself but I think for this, burning to DVD would be more appropriate and, as mentioned, possibly safer. I also was surprised as to how wizard can run 30 or 40 versions of Linux on the one computer. I have enough problems running one.

    Linux compatibility with windows?

    Wizard, Why "wombat457"? Born and bred an Aussie mate ;) Well, from everything said so far it seems as though getting Linux is a "hit and miss" deal - in terms of getting the one that is right for you. Lots of options, perhaps too many. Think I'll try and take a look at it up and running...

    Linux compatibility with windows?
