    We Need A Linux Distro For Trading

    I don't think 768Mo of RAM is really enough. I would consider a minimum of 512Mo for each OS running. If you notice that speed becomes an issue, you better be prepared to upgrade your RAM.

    We Need A Linux Distro For Trading

    I totally disagree with that. Two points : - Last time I tried, I haven't been able to install windows XP and configure all my hardware and connect it to a network. With time (I switched to Linux back in 98-99), I have completely forgotten how to use windows, and believe me or not, but I find...

    We Need A Linux Distro For Trading

    It's always really funny to see people thinking linux is more complicated stuff than Windows. It's mostly because people are now used to Windows. Just remember back in 95, when most of them started using a computer and hadn't a clue. How much time did they spend configuring it the first time ...

    Tax evasion not being a crime, hence not being a penal offense, you don't risk to go to jail. But you risk the fine.
