I have played around with virtualbox a bit and also looked at chroot based stuff, but to me it seems as if it would be easier for me to install Ubuntu (or maybe even Windows

), on a separate partition and dual boot. Dual booting is an option and what I used to do to play OOTP before my old laptop died.
Is a static build an option? I realize there would be a cost in terms of file size, but no idea how much.
Thanks,
Levi
