Hi all, this is my first post to the list! I'm from Scotland and am
currently living in Dublin with my Swedish girlfriend (im on holiday
in Sweden now though) :P

I'm planning a computer as a present for my girlfriend in a few
months. She uses a couple of windows only applications unfortunatly so
I was hoping to use windows XP ontop of linux with a pentium D.
Unfortunatly I don't know anything about virtualisation technology at
all and I kinda just need some reasurance that what I want to do is
feasable!

The system will be dual monitor so that XP will run on one monitor and
hopefully share a mouse curser and keyboard with GNU/Linux. Files will
need to be shared between the operating systems which is somthing that
I see as being a bit of a problem.. perhaps xp and linux can both use
a samba share (on localhost) to access the filesystem?

Using the virtualisation technology of xen and the pentium D cpu I
should be able to do these things right?

If you can offer any advice or experiances that could point me in the
right direction I would be very gratefull!

Tack så mycket,

Alan
