Tell me about it! I use a product called VMware for precisely that reason...
I have a virtual machine within a host machine so I can run the client's
builds and not fear for my documentation production environment. You can
load virtual machines for several operating systems, such as Linux, most
Windows, FreeBSD, etc. Very nice set up too if the client's product runs on
Linux and your documentation production environment runs on Windows. It's
NOT a dual-boot solution...it's a machine within a machine.
You can find out more at: www.vmware.com
I do not work for VMware, never have, and receive no compensation from them.
I am merely a satisfied user of their product.
For what it's worth,
Debbie
