Re: install unix os on vista

virtualisation is easier and less risky

now by UNIX do you mean an actual UNIX OS or a unix-like OS?

Re: install unix os on vista

Yeah with the right flavor, the installation process is really, really simple and would give a more true representation of how the OS would actually function in toto, vs. a virtualization.

Re: install unix os on vista

yeah but he will probably want to install / reinstall a lot as well as run some server services

for a learning tool, virtualisation is better as you can have a whole little virtual network with no security risks
