Wrapping your 54G Wi-Fi card for Linux Desktop

Ok so situation is something like this.(you can translate it to your situation to validate and justify your reasons to go wireless on a linux machine, I'll leave that to you). Your wife and kids want XP windows but you were made for Linux or vice versa. You just install a wireless network at home or if your employer/organization is considering experimenting to have dual boot workstations/laptops for employees , so they can boot on the operating system of their choice or are required to boot to a typical operating system.(linux i.e) as a thin client(say) in order to work on a payroll program for which all they need is a rolled out (customized OS) with linux on it(cos it's cheaper and there is no need to buy a XP machine with 1G ram just because the end user thinks it's his "birth right"! or the heavy classical windows application which is doing all calculations on the client PC ).

Well like I said what ever the reason, it's a compelling choice to go for a linux desktop, only to be left with a pukito problemas(little problem), how to do it?

Virtualization: GlassHouse hopes to cash in with its IPO!

GlassHouse Technologies Inc. on Tuesday registered to raise as much as $100 million in an initial public offering that, despite the company's financial losses, could prove a hit with investors drawn to its focus on "virtualization" technology. The Framingham, Mass., company offers consulting services for companies that use virtualization software to improve the performance of corporate servers and cut costs in their data centers. GlassHouse also provides Internet-based data storage. "Software-as-a-service," or SaaS, companies and vendors of virtualization products have proved popular among investors in recent years as corporate customers seek alternatives to conventional packaged software. GlassHouse, with roots in both sectors, will test the strength of that interest, said Peter Falvey, managing director with Boston investment bank Revolution Partners.
