[Lily4jedit-devel] coLinux

[Joshua K. <jos...@gm...>]

Hi...

I wonder if you have come across or use coLinux. Its said to be able
to run linux applications to native speeds, without modifications on
windows. You could modify your existing linux partition and run in on
windows.

The webby is at http://colinux.org and lots of documentation is at
wiki.colinux.org

Anyway I installed it at my workplace, and its seems to run fine. I
could install lilypond 2.4.2 on debian in colinux easily at quite a
plesant speed using a petium 500 pc. I, however have not yet try it at
home. i seem to screwed up, aftering switching my hdd from primary to
slave, and when booting my debain causes kernel panic.

Well, i'm thinking, what if colinux becomes the prefered choice for
running lilypond on windows (over cygwin or qemu or vmware or
virtualpc).  2 options for lilytool users.

1. Running in X
lilytool could be installed on colinux and used via X ( because
colinux dun support x displaying natively, so that would be either
running cygwin/X or VNC or NXclient).

2. Using Lilytool in windows
then, since the colinux would be like another terminal or machine,
lilytool could (s)ftp to colinux, upload/update the lilypond file,
then ssh(2)  in and run lilypond on the file. but this might
complicate on how to view the files, so maybe colinux place the file
using samba on windows shared folder?

ha, just thoughts again ;)
