[WBEL-users] Dual Running

[Daniel J. Summers]

Now that my network card is back working under Linux, I'd like to try 
setting up an environment where the core services that I use (e-mail / 
newsgroups, web pages, and database) are available whether I'm booted to 
Linux or Windows.  I use Mozilla Thunderbird for newsgroups, PHP for the 
web pages, and MySQL for the database.  I have a drive formatted with 
FAT32 (vfat) that is readable/writable from both operating systems.

Has anyone had any experience with this, heard about someone who did it, 
or tried it and couldn't make it work?  I think the MySQL should work 
the same, and by using a symbolic link under Linux and special options 
in IIS, I believe I can make both servers serve up the same web pages.  
My biggest question is with Thunderbird.  Does anyone here know whether 
it can be forced to read its data from a particular place, and whether 
it uses the same format and naming convention in both operating systems?

Thanks...  :)
