digip Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 Dual boot, have both, or virtualize and run side by side at the same time, meet all your needs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 Dual boot, have both, or virtualize and run side by side at the same time, meet all your needs. This. I've been running VMware or VBox on my main server, and virtualize everything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infiltrator Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 (edited) I find running VMs a lot easier to manage than having to dual boot into an operating system or another. Go into VM, it will benefit you a lot more. If you want to have multiple operating systems running at the same time. Edit: For the OS part, you can have Windows Server 2008 for the host operating system, and Ubuntu server running off a VM.
