[Haifux] Virtual Box\Machine

[Tal Abir]

Hi,
I can write up a page on coLinux, WUBI, andLinux, etc...

I agree that running Linux inside Windows is not optimal but The transition
(from Windows to Linux + Windows in a box) requires to reinstall windows
under Linux.

Where&How can I update the wiki?
Thanks,
Tal.
