Re: Linux in Windows - Implementation

Nice research. How does having two file systems work? Is the plugin file system on a VHD? On the subject of formatting, is it smart enough to recognise both *nix and windows style line breaks or do you need to make sure you're using a *nix text editor?

Yeah, you guys are getting dicked on minimum wage. NZ's $13.75/hr ($10.70US), and Australia's $16.37 ($14.58US).

Wow, Australia's really leading the charge on this, good work guys!

I'd be concerned if you wanted to migrate from Brisbane to the bustling metropolis of Dunedin. Although if you really wanted to live on the cheap, there's always Saigon.
