Video demonstration of getting a windows-based charting software to run in Linux

[chartmansg]

Hi there,

After much experimentation, I've finally figured out a way for using windows-based charting software to work in Ubuntu Hardy Heron 8.04 LTS.

I'm using Metastock but there is a pretty good chance that it Tradestation will worktoo. That is because using VirtualBox, Window XP is running as a second operating system from within Linux.

Watch a video of how my windows-based charting software works within Linux here :

YouTube - Metastock works in Ubuntu Hardy Heron!

Here is a clear screenshot of my Ubuntu desktop with Metastock Professional 8 running inside it :

Now you can enjoy all the benefits of using Linux and yet still be able to use your favourite charting software.

For instructions on how to get this setup to work, visit this thread :

Cheers.
