Windows and Linux...at the same time!
Linux, Virtualization, Ubuntu
Be prepared ... cool geek stuff ahead.
I think I came across this blog entry on digg, but I can't remember for certain. But wherever the original source, it is awesome.
Long story short, you can run a virtual Windows machine (with vmware server) and connect to it via seamless rdp allowing you to interact with your windows applications right on your linux desktop.
Here is a screenshot example. You can see my Gnome panel at the top of the screen, and the Windows taskbar at the bottom.
While this is cool in a gadgety sort of way, it is also going to be so much nicer for IE browser testing and who knows what else.
Here is a blog post detailing exactly how to get your own symbiosis up and running.
NOTE: in the example below the "\" in his examples were removed for some reason... your launcher should look like this
rdesktop -A -s 'c:\seamlessrdp\seamlessrdpshell.exe c:\windows\explorer.exe' WindowsIpAddressHere -u YOURUSERNAME -p YOURPASSWORD

Running Linux apps on Windows (with no window mgr)
I tried virtualbox out when I couldn't seem to get vmware installed on a kernel I compiled one time. I seem to remember being somewhat underwhelmed with it, in comparison to VMware...maybe it has changed since though.

and without seamless, but with 3D

1. Create a group usbusers and put yourself in it. (System>Administration>Users
Is it possible to have virtualbox start a machine and keep it running without keeping its console window open?
Secondly... is there some trick to connecting to a NATed machine in VirtualBox? It appears it assigned 10.0.2.15 to the Windows VM, but my host machine doesn't appear to know how to route to that address.
Any tips you could share would be appreciated.
