Some days I feel like a GOD!
After being "drawn to the dark side" by Ubuntu I recently installed a bigger hard disk and started using Gutsy Gibbon.
One of my goals was to have only one environment to have to boot into. I hated having to reboot into Windows for the small number of Apps I couldn't run natively in Ubuntu (either via replacements or some sort of emulation layer)
So I installed VMWare Server, and wasn't that a pig to do?
The final thing I couldn't do was get printing onto CDs via my printer. Tonight I cracked it. The printer is installed under Ubuntu as a SMB mounted network which I then print to from the native CD software from within XP. And it works!
(cue maniacal laughter!)
BWAHAHA!
