I would suggest VirtualBox. It just installed easily for me. I am running it on my system with stable gentoo-sources kernel.
I just never had as much success with VMWare. Good luck, -- Steve Herber her...@thing.com work: 206-221-7262 Security Engineer, UW Medicine, IT Services home: 425-454-2399 On Fri, 30 Jan 2009, Mark Knecht wrote:
I've wanted to ask this for a while. I've never seen vmware running. I'm curious about running a few Windows apps on my AMD64 machine, if possible. Does stuff like sound work? I don't need any special hardware. (I think) Just disk, graphics and network. How well does this work? vmware seems to have a good reputation. What are the Open Source alternatives? If someone has a good pointer to something that walks a newbie through setting this up and running Win XP then that would be cool. I have XP licenses if necessary. Thanks, Mark
