[QUOTE="DarkLord Of DForce, post: 5728944, member: 85416"] I use Kubunto 10.10 (need to upgrade to the latest, 11.04 , I think). But...I tried running moonlight and I have it installed. It will let me get as far as the circle of dots with the percentage loaded on the CB. There it hangs, never resolving, so I gave up on that. A SysAdmin at a local library recommend Virtual Box to me. I used apt-get to install it all, then bought a cheap copy of Windows XP. Using this method, I can do everything with the CB. Never tried the monster builder but it should work fine. Some tips - since its emulation, obviously the faster your comp the better. I was running it with 2 gigs of RAM and TBH, it was a little bit slow. I went to 4 gigs and its much better. Going to try 8 gigs around tax refund time. I would give the Windows install about 50 megs or more for its install space. When you first install it, you're gonna go through its update process, service pack3 and all that so it will take awhile. I set mine up so that Linux and Windows share a common folder that I use to transfer files between. I didn't even try to setup USB or printer support. I'm very satisfied with it though, overall. Kept me from having to use Windows as main OS on a comp or dual-booting. I've got it nice and controlled, in its own little cage on my 'Nix box. :) [/QUOTE]
