Re: [tlug] Linux / Win 8 dual boot

[Shaun Hughes <shaunphughes@example.com>]

Hello Charles,

Since RAM is cheap, and new laptops typically will hold plenty, I'd recommend choosing your primary working OS (hopefully Linux), and running the other OS as a virtual machine (ie. Oracle  VirtualBox, VMware Workstation, etc.).

Saves all that pesky rebooting.

All the best,

It looks like I'm going to have to attempt to install Linux (Ubuntu
12.10) in a dual-boot setup on a new 64-bit Windows 8 laptop that
will have secure boot. From what I can find on the web at the
moment, this doesn't look very promising. Do any TLUGers have
success stories to report?
