You can either dual-boot XP and some Linux Distro, or you can run XP as the underlying OS (so that graphics intensive games will play fast) and run one, two or five Linuces (plural of linux) using Sun xVM Virtuabox.
I have Vista64 Ult and Ubuntu 64 8.10 dual-booted on my desktop… but I also have openSUSE 11.4 and PC-BSD and XP (which I use to run non-game 32bit programs that don’t like Vista64) as guest OSes using Sun xVM Virtualbox (which is free)
i have a doubt, i wanna install in my portable with a virtual machine and had already intsall opensuse, and i want to use the virtual machine for gaming (in another words i wanna do the excat oposite of teh video xP)
I forgot to mention this:
Gnome is more similar to mac, while KDE is more similar to Windows. They both work fine and I think a windows user can use Gnome perfectly fine.
Well I want !!… Ok i really wanna with all my soul install opensuse 11.0 but I can not
I press the button to install but that does not work just freezes
I am desperate … Well I use window Vista Home Basic Intel (R) Pentium (R) D CPU 3.00ghz
1GB of RAM
I need it because I would like to join the world LINUX if someone could help me I would appreciate
Can you give me some more detailed instructions or some resources on how to do this. I’ve been loading opnSUSE 11. in VBox but I’m not sure how to install it. Do I need the DVD (larger version) or stick with the livecd one? Once installed, can I dual boot or can I only run it from virtualbox?

thanks, cuz i want to change to linux but there are still games that i want to play native only to windows
which options do i have?
(Report comment)
That would suck. You want games to run on the naked host machine… for speed. Unless you’re talking about a checkers game or solitaire etc…

GNOME is less graphic-intensive.
It’s all a matter of preference really. I prefer using Beryl of KDE, but many of my friends prefer GNOME.
“zeldaparty8″ hit it on the head though.

the only thing in virtualization tha limits is the support of DirectX

Sorry for all the questions.

I started using 8GB for this demo, it should be enough for my purpose. Linux desktop maximum took around 3GB with fresh installation without data.
