Hello! --- stephen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> a écrit: > > sorry, my opinion, nothing against wine, get vmware and do it > properly. > memo: must try vmware on a box You mean that you are recommending a software that you have yet to use? I've installed it on Oxygen (I actually have a license that costed me 75$US back in july 1999) and countless other distrib before it. Its really quality software in the sense that it is user friendly and install everytime without problems. The engineering is nice too. But there's no hiding that Win'98 is still too slow on my dual Celeron with 128mb RAM... The problem seems to lie in disk accesses... The other emulated subsystems are pretty fast according to benchmarks. One other big disavantage is that you need a Windows license too (except if you're a pirate of course! ;-) ). I'm guessing that the performance you get from Wine are superior - the problem being that it does not support the whole API. We're not helping by using proprietary and closed software that's for sure! So I wouldn't spread the word that VMWARE is the solution to all problems in Linux (lack of Office software, lack of great games) because it isn't. bye, ===== Ricky Ng-Adam Capitaine du projet S.O.N.I.A.
