Re: [CinePaint] Howto? cinepaint on virtual linux on win32

Cygwin is the Linux to install on windows boxes. However, if you are  
planning to run Cinepaint on it be aware it doesn't compile. Even  
though I used the improved files available from others in this  
newsgroup there are still too many issues to be solved.

Have you considered making room on your primary partition and loading  
linux on it and making your machine dual boot? Or adding a second  
disk and installing a version of linux on it? You will be able to  
access windows files on a windows partition, most linux releases I am  
aware of allow mounting of windows partitions. This way you would  
have a good install of linux on it's own disk, there would be few  
compile issues for Cinepaint and you could access files on the window  
partition.

PS There is a learning curve for Linux, but it really is a great OS  
once you get the idea.
