How about a stand-alone network storage system that all computers can link to? Sorry, but I've only helped others with Win8, thanks to peaking at Ubuntu's newish look. Maybe others with newer rigs will advise...

Subject: [LINUX_Newbies] Windows-emulator.
Hi,
I'm wondering if there is something like Parallels in the Linux world. I've bought a machine with Windows 8.1 installed. It does not seem to want to communicate with my Mac, as my old Windows XP machine did flawlessly. Also, it struggles to handle two hard drives. That may be hardware-related, though. I could split it up and run both Windows and Linux, or throw the whole Windows mess out and run Windows programs with an emulator. If I do use a partition, I suppose an emulator could access files in the other partition, couldn't it? And would it run flawlessly? And would a Linux machine communicate flawlessly with a Mac over a wireless home net?
