Are you suggesting I install win-ff via wine? Would that have any advantage over the pre-wine-hacked IE packages out there? Would VMware be a better solution? Or should I just set up the laptop as dual boot? As to the dual boot, I haven't done this in a long time. Used to be you'd have to install windows first so that it wouldn't clobber the mbr, and then install Linux. Is that still the case? Or can I install on a new partition without damaging the Linux installation these days? > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > > > Subject: > > [PLUG] VPN > > From: > > Art Alexion <art.alexion@verizon.net> > > Date: > > Thu, 14 Jun 2007 10:22:21 -0400 > > To: > > plug@lists.phillylinux.org > > > > To: > > plug@lists.phillylinux.org > > > > > > Sorry if this is too vague.
