Hi,
I have Virtual PC 6.0.156.0
Is it possible to install Linux on it?? I've been trying to install Open Suse and Fedora but it just doesnt work. The installation seems to hang somewhere in the middle...:mad:
How can i make Virtual PC run Linux OSes?
Is there any other software like VPC which helps me run linux?

Microsoft Virtual PC only supports Linux.

You can try VMWare Workstation (non-free) or VMWare Server (free).
