[Tutor] Executing a C Program from RH Linux in Python for Win

[Robert Berman]

Wayne,

I think I do the opposite of what you are doing. I develop in Python on 
a Linux (Ubuntu 8.10) box. On that box, I also run a virtual copy of 
Windows XP in its own little happy environment. That way, when my XP 
customers have a problem, I drop into the desktop environment running XP 
and we are off and running.

 From the gist of your comment, you want to run Linux from within your 
Windows OS? Well, given the miracle of Virtual Memory, you can do that. 
Download the Xvm Virtual Memory (free) package from Sun and install it 
on your Windows system. Then, allocate a Linux system under the auspices 
of VM and you are off and running.

Hope this is of some help.
