I would like to find a means of using the linux applications system to learn
to build web pages without having to load windows xp is this possible? I am
not able to afford to purchase windows xp at present and i am learning to
build web pages on Dream weaver is there some dowload that i could use either
on the linux system or on windows that will allow me to do this without
having to spend funds that i have for getting to and from college as i am
disabled therefore my travelling costs are high. My laptop is the Eee PC 701
4G any ideas or good suggestions?

You can download a Linux live cd from http://distrowatch.com/. To use VPC
you need to be running Windows 2000 or later.

You can probably get a vmware server download for free that will run on
linux

Not on an Asus eee PC, 512MB RAM and a 900MHz ULV Celeron don't make a
usable virtualization platform.
