[Lex Computer & Tech Group/LCTG] Do you use Windows and Linux or Mac and Linux?

[Drew King]

Sure,

Let's hope for interest. This is valid tech info for everyone with at 
least two dissimilar operating systems.

I just successfully mounted Linux on Windows, and Linux on Linux. Also 
Windows on Linux!

Would you like to mount a Windows drive on Linux in a flash? Perhaps 
Windows on a Mac?

Mounting Linux & Windows from a Mac should be just as easy. I have the 
instructions, just not a Mac.

Very easy once you know the syntax!!

Drew.
