Running Windows Applications Under Linux

[stack]

Hello,
At the meeting I showed off Windows applications running under Ubuntu. The guides can be adapted to other flavors of Linux. I said I would post the links, so here they are.

Here is how to setup Windows. As long as you have the install setup already you can skip this part (eg, if you are dual booting already, have a Windows VM system, or just want to use a seperate running system).

Here is the part that allows for you to run the applications.

I have this running, it was real easy to setup and I demo'd the box at the meeting. The demo was impressive simply because the box was such an old system yet ran this rather smooth.

Let me know if there is something I can do to help out.

Stack,

What were the specs on the machine that you demo'd this on?

P3 500mhz with 286MB ram a 20GB 5600 RPM drive.

Nothing fancy.

I wonder if this can be done with VMworkstation, instead of Server? With Workstation you can have a shared folder with the host machine, and share USB devices.
