1 ituns should work with wine. try it out. and if you want a dual-boot system
2 i've just discovered that you can use xen di paravirtualize windows and
3 linux without any modifications to the base system with the condition that
4 you have one of these processors:
5 http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/HVM_Compatible_Processors
6 of course you have to install a full xen to disk, so you'd have to modify
7 your base linux distro. on the next pc i'll try it out and learn more about
8 how to do it.
