Re: [PLUG] Dual core, continued

Hmm...  Just theoretically...  I wonder if there's any way to run
Windows in VMware or Xen VM, connect to the Internet, activate
Internet Connection Sharing (perhaps, sharing to an external USB
network dongle?), and then have your Linux machine connect to the
"network" as a client of the Windows VM?  It would be easier if you
had a spare Windows PC to be the router, but it might be workable with
a VM.

Thanks,
    Aaron

I'd like to use Ubuntu, but also like to download software and "give it a spin."  I'm a bit confused about repository issues with Ubuntu when there's no Internet connection.  Any guidance would be appreciated
