Hi there, <br><br>I have been(not currently) a Linux user for probably the better part of ten years, off and on, and I would like to request some assistance. <br><br>I am a musician, and as such, require that my pro audio external card work well, and at all supported bitrates. <br>
<br>I am currently running a retail copy of Windows 7 Home Premium, but am at the point where I am tired of fighting. Here's the issue: I have an external hd, which I use to store music, movies, backups, and my own musical creations. Every time I attempt to copy files to one folder or another, I am required to answer a UAC prompt, or frankly ANY file operations. To say that the Windows security model is obscure would be an understatement, as many times today I was wishing I could just open an xterm and chmod everything to 777 and be done with it. <br>
<br>So, my humble request is thus: I enjoy using Linux(prefer Ubuntu) as an everyday OS, but I need to be able to use a few different win32 programs that I would not want to relegate to Wine(and I don't think they would work well anyway). <br>
<br>I would need help coming up with a plan, possibly including winxp seamless mode or something in vmware. <br><br>Any advice?<br><br>Thanks,<br><br>Anthony Passonno<br><br>
