Re: [coLinux-devel] potentially bad idea

IMHO,  as soon as you have the same kernel version under real Linux and may=
 live
without  device  drivers  apart  bare  minimum  under coLinux/Windows you'l=
l not
notice  any  significant  difference under both instances of your Linux's b=
oots.

From=20technical point of view it's possible, e.g. I have tried exactly the=
 same
configuration and it worked fine. In other words - dual boot of your raw Li=
nux
installation is possible. The rest depends on your needs.

Sure,  under coLinux you'll not get native graphical console but there were=
 some
workarounds mentioned here in the list not far from now, just search archiv=
e.
