I was asked to do a clean installation of OS as I was facing few problems. I couldn't find time to do it so far. I think I can do it by the coming weekend. So, I am thinking of installing Linux (Ubuntu). I have few queries to clarify before that...
I have few software which have made to work in Windows and they don't have Linux version. Though I could use Wine for that, I am thinking of installing Windows virtually on Linux and work from there. The question is, Do I have good enough setup to do it? I have a six year old PDC @1.8ghz, 160GB HDD and 3 GB DDR 2 RAM. Is this sufficient to run Linux - Ubuntu (host) and windows 7 (guest)?
I will go ahead and do it, only if this will not slow down the system performance. Else, I will stick with Windows 7. No virtual machine, no guest OS, just windows.
