[DLC] Question and Hello

[Arturo Chan Yu]

Hi Deron,

I do dual boot like Chris do, and at the same time I do have VMWare
installed on my Ubuntu Machine with a Windows Virtual Machine.  If you are
running a decent PC like a core 2 duo or quad with decent amount of RAM then
using Linux as your host for Windows as your VM is not a bad idea at all.
