[lug] dual boot

[Mike Vigorita]

What, exactly, in Linux do you need?  If it's the shells and shell scripts,
one other approach is not to install Linux at all, and get the MKS toolkit.
This s/w package contains all of the "typical" UNIX commands, and a ksh,
csh, etc. (http://www.datafocus.com/products/tk/)

I realize that this is a Linux group, but I hate to see you go through a lot
of trouble just to get UNIX commands to run on an NT box.
