Message-ID: <458294C4.1090908@stu.org.uk> (raw)

I have two Windows boxes for my day job (Win2K and WinXP).  I will be 
working from home soon, and I don't want more computers in my house.  I 
really want to run everything on Linux if possible.
I plan to get a Core 2 Duo, with Gentoo Linux 64, and at least 2Gb of RAM.

Question:

Can I copy the two Windows hard disk images to a KVM file, and boot into 
them?
Are the serial ports accessible, just the same as if I was running 
windows natively?
Will I be happy with the performance if I have to spend all day in one 
of the Windows environments?

Stuart.
