| 673340 | 2008-05-28 02:49:00 | Hi Guys Anyone know if its possible to get Ubuntu or PCLinuxOS to work via Microsoft Virtual PC even though it isn't officially supported? Or is there some other easy to learn and use virtualisation software which could do it for me? Cheers |

Or is there some other easy to learn and use virtualisation software which could do it for me? Cheers Yes - I have used both in Virtual PC (2007). Note that you need to do a tiny bit of tweaking to make them work properly, as jwil says. |

| 673343 | 2008-05-28 03:24:00 | A slight hijack Does the mouse work OK, as I had issues with non responsive mice in virtual Linux about 6 months ago due to VPCs emulated mouse not being supported |
