Re: Gimp-Print + Linux = B&W Heaven?

The last time I checked out the Linux offerings (about a year ago) 
at least one allowed you to install Linux in a folder on a Windows 
drive and switch over by clicking a short-cut. If I remember, you 
had to reboot to get back to Windows though. This all assumes that 
Gimp-print will work in Linux any opinions from the guys working on 
it?
