[coLinux-users] vista and windows 7

[Mark A. <ma...@al...>]

Can we expect coLinux to run well under Windows 7?  Perhaps under the 
newly announced XP mode?

Separate question:  Is compatibility with 64-bit Vista possible?  Now, 
or in the future?

I am running coLinux as Portable Ubuntu under less than ideal 
conditions.  A 64-bit port would be dandy.  I would contribute, but I 
know nothing about linux kernels or any kind of device driver, and not 
much about programming 64-bit (specifics).

I ran coLinux on Vista (with heavy, daily use) for several months before 
upgrading to System 7 beta and coLinux runs just fine on both for me.

System 7 has had some seriously unpleasant issues with Samba clients 
though (blue screens, a hotfix, now system freezes) but these are not 
specific to coLinux -- they are affecting all System 7 users who try to 
mount Samba shares from any linux/bsd system.

I don't know -- I'm still limping along on just 32 bits -- but I'd like 
to know.  I'd sure love to be able to run a 64 Windows with 8Gigs of ram 
and be able to give coLinux 4 of them!

Henry?  Why is it we can't give coLinux all the gigs of RAM it deserves, 
again?
