That’s what I would have thought, having lived with dual booting for several years before virtualization came along. But poking around the Suse site I saw references to dual boot and wondered if there was some advantage to it I was missing. Presumably it uses less memory to boot just one OS at a time, but machines tend to have a lot of memory these days.<br>
