Succinct. My 5 for you.

LOL Windows running Linux :doh: I bet that is fast and crash free.

you cant copy text from the PDF

I had my doubts about this, and just tried it. And managed to copy text from a pdf file viewed in Chrome 9.0.597.98 and pasted it into word.

Interesting. I tried it too. Also there is no 'Copy' command in the context menu. Let me try again, maybe the random PDF I tried was secured or something along those lines :)

In fact, it is :) Allocated 4 cores and 1GB RAM, Ubuntu flies. Clean kernel compile for Android in about 5 mins. I know some people with dedicated Linux boxes taking longer on the same task ;P

You are correct! It works on another PDF, also got copy in context menu. Opening the PDF in Adope confirms it is indeed a SECURED PDF.

Your Welcome.......... Don't you just hate it when things like that happen! (not as bad as the VS2010 fail by whoever it was yesterday!)

so the PDF is just blocked for stealing text - this should have been possible at the time our minister of defense wrote his dissertation[^] regards Torsten

Yes, it is. I have as many as four VMs open at a time, all with different operating systems (mainly variants of linux). I only have problems when I open adobe products, "install-our-wonderful-software-before-plugging-in-your-phone" garbage, or open-source cr@pware like eclipse. You can't blame Windows for the failings of third parties. You've really got to stop believing all the linux-evangelist billshut you read on the Interweb.
