Linux under Windows with andLinux

March 25th, 2009 Category: Linux, VMWare

Nowadays there are several virtualization products like VMWare and Virtual PC available. Searching the Internet I came across coLinux and andLinux. This free and open source tools allow you to run Linux natively on your Windows PC.

coLinux is the base – a port of the Linux kernel which allows you to run Linux cooperatively on your Windows PC. andLinux is a complete Ubuntu Linux system which uses coLinux, Xming as X server and PulseAudio as sound server.

I’ve tried andLinux on my Windows XP notebook, installation was easy. Quite nice if you also want to have Linux running on your PC without purchasing other products. You can start Linux applications and they appear like a regular Windows application on your desktop.

andLinux offers some more features:

  • Access from Linux applications to Windows filesystem
  • Quick start of Linux applications from Quicklaunch bar
  • Easy start of applications from KDE Start menu

Definitely a try worth!
