Windows for ham radio tasks and Ubuntu when I'm at school. After 10 years working as an IT-consultant I will now enroll in nursing school in August.<br /><br />72/73!

I don't agree that Win7 is more unbreakable, it broke plenty and that's why I went back to XP. Haven't tried VirtualBox on a Win7 machine, but you might run into problems with drivers from the Linux guest, but it is certainly more convenient in general not to have to re-boot.<br /><br />If for no other reason I prefer to Linux on my HD in addition to Windows as it takes very little space and is a great backup OS if Windows fails. You can do a lot of repair and data retrieval from the Linux side. Vice versa doesn't work, though. There is a message in that which also has an appeal for Linux if you know what I mean.<br /><br />73,<br /><br />TI2/NA7UCasey Bahrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01638230726171327005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6714430268801266608.post-12172378575102392112011-05-04T00:58:34.344+02:002011-05-04T00:58:34.344+02:00Hi Julian and Martin!

I find the Ubuntu update programme (two major releases a year or whatever) a bit of a pain, so I would be tempted just to disable or ignore the requests for updates.<br /><br />Assuming you have space on your hard drive I would certainly take the dual boot option.<br /><br />I am still running Windows XP, so can't comment about 7, but as each Windows release seems to have become more unbreakable than its predecessor I would think that sticking with Windows would give you fewer problems than changing over to Linux completely.<br /><br />Just my two cents' worth!<br /><br />73<br /><br />Martin - G4FUIG4FUIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00606636970045458458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6714430268801266608.post-14281613531976530992011-05-02T12:26:15.448+02:002011-05-02T12:26:15.448+02:00I think the decision depends entirely on what soft...I think the decision depends entirely on what software you intend to use or think you may want to use on it. If you like Logger32, why change just to run a different OS?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11984840704237681015noreply@blogger.com
