andLinux is a Ubuntu system that runs on Windows (2000, XP, 2003, Vista, W7; in its 32-bit versions), for which it uses colinux, a version of the Linux kernel for Windows. According to the project developers it is possible to "use almost all applications" for Linux-based systems on Windows thanks to the "magic" of andLinux. In your work they don't let you use Linux? Do you miss that beautiful Linux application that is not available for Windows? Here is an interesting alternative to consider. |
Although this technology may seem very similar to running Linux on Windows through a virtual machine, the truth is that it is different (read, better) because it integrates the two systems much better instead of working separately on a virtual machine. , which also makes Linux run faster and Windows does not run out of memory.
andLinux uses Xming as its server and PulseAudio as its audio server.
It installs just like any other Windows program. The installer interface appears and we click the button Next eighty million times. During the installation process, it will ask us about how to use andLinux: through the XFCEpanel, shortcuts from Windows, etc.
