Just not at the same time. If you're wanting to run a "shopping cart", I'd assume for web-based orders. Now, if you're doing something for the web, odds are you'd want to have it run 24/7. A dual boot machine is useless for something running an application that you want available 24/7. More than likely, you're going to want to set up a machine specifically to run the shopping card software and leave your Windows ME machine alone. --- Andy -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of Valerie Dahlinger Sent: Tuesday, March 13, 2001 2:05 PM To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: 2 Operating Systems on one computer I am currently running windows me, but need a freebsd or linux system to use shopping cart software offered by my host.
