I have auralux.
As well as fedora.
I suppose I could try that, but my course involves scripting, hmm.
If we are on a external drive, and I booted from cd if I could use that drive to write my saves to on the same partition as dos.
Yeah, it wouldn't matter then, but I'd still need to install open office, etc.
I suppose I could have a small say about 2gb partition in linux on the hard disk for software for linux.
Then install all software and configs to that.
or had the configs ona floppy, or whatever then just pointed the thing to boot and access those configs.
and files.
