This article lists what is possible regarding Linux-Windows Interoperability.

You work on a Linux computer

• If you want to access or provide network drives, use samba.

• To send a message to a Windows computer use

echo "hallo" | smbclient -M netbiosComputerName &> /dev/null

You work on a Windows computer

• If you want to copy files to/from a Linux computer, use WinSCP.
• If you want to control a Linux computer, use xming.

Other

• If you want to use a USB disk with Linux and Windows and you want to use files greater than 2GB, use ntfs.
• If you want to use your keyboard and mouse on any computer, use synergy.
• If you want to boot Linux with the Windows bootloader

dd if=/dev/hda3 bs=512 count=1 of=/windows/C/bootsek.lin
In die c:\boot.ini folgendes eintragen:
c:\bootsek.lin="Linux"

Note

Why dual-boot if you can have virtual machines?
