[olug] Linux on the Desktop (BCC'd to others)

[David Walker]

I have used Win4lin.  Very nice to be able to share the filesystem with Linux.  
Very nice to be able to run any Windows program with no problem.  Sucks to 
have to Win4lin-enable every new kernel you try.

I never got around to Win4lin enabling my current kernel so I can't run it at 
the moment.
