Any thoughts on the relative merits of running Linux as a dual boot option versus running with VM Ware? Out IT people suggest the latter since they said that it makes it easier to use things like wireless and VPNs which they say can operate on the Windows side and the Linux on the virtual machine can find. That said, when they set it up it doesnt seem to be able to find the wireless or the VPN. Im considering starting over and going the dual boot route which I have used before successfully. Thanks for any suggestions.
