Summary: Must have for OS enthusiasts (and the generally curious)
Comment: After several years of running OS/2 Warp side-by-side with Windows and Linux, I finally found a book help me TUNE my setup. This book is a must have for anyone trying to run multiple operating systems.

Even if you are not interested in installing more than one OS, the book is great if you are just curious about other x86 OSes. It offers historical information, pros & cons to the different file systems, offers information about how to use different file systems from different OSes. For example, how to read NTFS partitions from OS/2.

Summary: Very useful indeed.
Comment: If you have a working environment that uses DOS, 95, 98, NT, 2000, OS/2, BeOS, Linux and Unix and you were in charge of taking care of them you would need several computers to support this task and that could be very expensive. Roderick Smith has other plans and the cost is very small.

Learning from someone with over 10 years of experience in multi-boot environments this book gives you the breakdown of how to make them all work together and the dos and don'ts to look for.

Smith shows you how to use boot loaders and ways to partitions your hard drive for success. You'll also learn how to install the multiple operating systems and have them working in harmony.

Smith covers the cross platform issue you might face and what happens to the applications. There is coverage of TCP/IP and file and printer sharing. Finally Smith shows ways to optimize and configure your hard drives for the best situation.

Included is a cd with VMware, Partition Magic and Boot Magic. Smith is very knowledgeable and this book is an excellent reference tool.

Summary: A fine fog scatter, finally.
Comment: Ever wanted to install a combination of two or more operation systems on your PC and didn't know how to? This book is the answer. It scatters the thick haze surrounding the subject and gives you the knowledge to combine lotsa OSs on one HD or more. Its readers become multi-booting masters, simply stated. In addition it deals with optimizing OSs, file systems, emulators and more regarding to multi-boot PCs. The only problem with this book is its lack of technical details regarding everything. It teaches perfectly the theories and how to use them, but "evades" from dealing with details programmers or advanced users wanna know like specific file system structures, addresses, codes, etc. Still, I thank its author for his knowledge which undoubtedly raised me several levels of understanding and controling the vagued...
