andLinux.org -- Run Linux natively inside Windows

This is a Linux Distro that runs inside of Windows. You might want to
try it out, to see what Linux is like.

Introduction

andLinux is a complete Ubuntu Linux system running seamlessly in Windows
2000 based systems (2000, XP, 2003, Vista, 7; 32-bit versions only).
This project was started for Dynamism for the GP2X community, but its
userbase far exceeds its original design. andLinux is free and will
remain so, but donations are greatly needed.

andLinux uses coLinux as its core which is confusing for many people.
coLinux is a port of the Linux kernel to Windows. Although this
technology is a bit like running Linux in a virtual machine, coLinux
differs itself by being more of a merger of Windows and the Linux kernel
and not an emulated PC, making it more efficient. Xming is used as X
server and PulseAudio as sound server.

andLinux is not just for development and runs almost all Linux
applications without modification.
