virtual machine question

[Brent Harding]

Hi there. I'd like to be able to use this with software speech, preferrably 
something better than festival if it is out there for linux. How would I get 
JFW to read the installation and actually get a small linux running on 
windows? I'd rather use this idea if possible than having to buy a KVM and 
audio switcher to control the old machine that I will be putting linux on. I 
wouldn't bother if JFW read SSH to a point of being able to edit files over 
it easily.
