Linux linux linux...

I spent most if not all of today just thinking about trying to get linux and windows working together on one machine in a non-dual boot situation suiting my needs.

It's come down to 3 options

1: KVM (<- This i want to do, but my logitech gaming keyboard wont make this easy)
2: Virtualbox's Seamless or VMWare's Unity mode
3: Running X through Cygwin/X or Xming on windows

In theory, 3 might be enough for me, and out of the 3 it's easiest to test, i'll go through these 3 tomorrow and test them *yawn* see if i find one that works for me. The reason 3 might do is because i don't want many (if any) of linux's awesome programs, but having some of them certainly could help... no, i want to use window managers and their awesome configurable functionality. Explorer is great but not even half as configurable as it should be.
