ubuntu on win7

so finally i started to develop at home again… my main focus is to create small simple projects to improve my daily, private work and learn some new things… primarily i need to learn linux things…

at work i am developing on WinXP for unix systems… so without unix knowledge, its kinda stupid… so i decided to learn these things at home…

so i have setup an Ubuntu on a VMPlayer on my Windows7 PC… and it works 🙂

dont try VirtualPC… with the correct manual its kinda easy to install it, but all the manuals contains sort of hacks… and ubuntu doesnt run really useful… in my opinion… with VMPlayer it was much better and simpler to install and mainly the only problem was the Gnome Shell, which didnt work… 🙁 but this is a project for the future 😛
