[yt-users] yt on cygwin?

[Eve Lee]

Hi Nathan and Casey,

I decided to be safe and use direct-booting from USB which seems to work 
great! My laptop is not very Linux-friendly so I was a bit hesitant 
about trying this method but the newest Ubuntu seems to get along well 
with the machine.

Casey, I saw your e-mail after I installed yt through USB but I'll have 
to look into using either vmware or installing directly on the machine 
if I run out of persistent space. USB method seems to be very slow upon 
booting and shut-down but otherwise no problem.

Thank you for the help! :)

Best Regards,

Eve
