An easy way to run Linux on Windows

Just released: Microsoft Virtual PC 2004 45-day trial edition.

This is my second-favorite MS app. I loves me some VPC.

To give Linux a whirl:

1. Download Linux ISO from ftp server

2. Download VPC and install it

3. Create new VPC; boot from ISO

4. Install Linux

Only gotcha: some Linux distros default to 16bpp video; change it to 24bpp and you should be OK.
