Hi,
i'm kinda new here and i want to make my own perfect world-private server.
I have looked at a lot of threads here and it looks like i need CoLinux.
Now i will try to get it but what is it?
Is it a operating system like windows'?
Or is it something else? ...
thanks in advance. :thumbup1:
In short it's basically a program that permits Linux to operate within windows. I would also suggest you not use co-linux as there are better ones out there. I personally use VMware workstation. I would suggest you try VMware workstation, or Sun's Virtual-Box (VBox)

I would recommend getting this version, as this is the one I started working with (and I know it works 'right out of the box'):
(this one uses VMware):

that or I hear HRACE release is good as well (no personal experience with that one)
(this one uses VBox):

Colinux=Cooperative Linux
wich means Linux with Windows Interface
(Cmd/Commander)
but than again use vmware it's more reliable
They're all basically 'Virtual Machines' ; which allow you to run different 'guest' operating systems within your 'native/host' operating system. I know nothing about CoLinux, but my guess would be that it sucks because it is only for running Linux as a guest OS.
VMware and VBox rock, as you can install them in windows (and they're available for other host OSs too), and install ANY other operating system that you desire (including Linux, which we need for the PW server).
