andLinux

I have tried several VM solutions for running windows and Linux side-by-side, and unfortunately none of them are very seamless. Often I just want X11 & a good shell to my linux box, and while I could just use PuTTY with X11 forwarding, at other times I really want a local terminal. For those times, there's andLinux.

This little gem runs colinux as a service; by default it starts up a shell as root, but with a few tweaks you can run as your own user.
