Windows browser on linux

I have linux and Vista on my system. When I'm in either operating system how do I have the other operating system open in another window?

 

I don't think you can do this. You'd have two OS competing for the same processor and chips. Kaboom! It'd probably result in a black hole, swallowing up all the things you know and love.

You can have the option to dual boot if you wish - you turn on your comptuer, and you select '1' for linux, or '2' for windows. But as far as I'm know, you can't boot both and just 'assign' them to a window.

 

Oh !! god is tat possible to show both OS on same window !!!

 

I've seen it done many times I just don't know to do it.

 

just install VMWARE , it acts as Virtual Machine

install vmware for linux and install windows in vmware , then you will be able to access windows from your linux system , dont try that on a ancient machine as it is bound to make your PC slower

 

I actually have Ubuntu 8.04 [linux] on my Windows. Can I just install Vmware on Ubuntu and it work still?

 

yes jlfrank21 it will work perfectly for Ubuntu

i ll suggest try from Vmware or VirtualBox

 

Thanks, I'm going to give VirtualBox a shot and see what happens. I haven't had linux for more than about thirty minutes now so I'll see if I can figure it out.

 

Can someone explain "project-beryl"? I was told to install this once I get my linux set up and it will "improve it x1,000,000." Anybody know what this is and where to get it?

 

Well I downloaded and installed Virtualbox. Now where in the heck is it?

 

Why not try WINE (wine is not an emulator) to emulate the windows environment on linux so it can run the majority of programs designed for windows?

 

Do I need Virtualbox on both linux and Windows for this to work properly?

 

project beryl is a window manager for Linux system.just like Gnome/KDE

beryl got good interface and features

Wine is use for running Windows application on linux
it cannot run whole windows on LInux (AFAIK)

 

nopes, no need for Installing Virtual-Box for both Linux and Windows
you need software for the OS which you are using to boot the PC

and a Linux Forum Will be a more appropriate place to ask such Queries

DO search before asking your Question , may be you dont need to ask

 

I downloaded it and installed it properly but I can't even find the icon to boot the program.

 

I want to have three operating system consist linux windows and mac.
How I do that?
Thank you very much.

 

I've got VirualBox up and running but it's not connecting to my Vista. Do have to install a fresh copy of Vista or can I use an exsisting Vista?

 

Let's make this clear:
You can NOT open your Vista inside Linux. You can NOT open you Linux inside Vista.

But you can use two different OS'es at the same time using virtualization software. How does it work:
- You download virtualization software (you already did)
- In this software, you can create a Virtual machine. This means you can install another OS inside this virtual environment, so you can use Windows on Linux and Linux on Windows.

This Virtual OS will run on top of your main OS as an application. So keep in mind that the Virtual OS does not use all your hardware: your graphics card is emulated (gaming in a virtual OS is impossible, Aero will not work, ...), USB support might not be available, ...

But you can NOT use your existing Vista or Linux at the same time.
So yes, if you want to use Vista inside Linux, you need to do a clean Vista install inside the Virtualization software.

I hope this makes things clear.

 

Thank you, I understand that even though i wouldn't know how to do it lol -- When I install Ubuntu it put it on my C drive. When I get on Vista and open my C drive their is a Ubuntu folder. So does that mean Ubuntu is on my Vista or just on the drive alone?
