Better link :) -----Original Message----- From: Roger Searle [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, 8 February 2006 10:52 a.m. To: CLUG Subject: vmware server now zero dollars vmware have responded to the potential market for virtualisation environments and the competition from virtual pc by lowering the price of vmware server to zero! (Note - currently beta). Available for windows (140MB) and linux (101MB) [1] This is incredibly cool, for me this significantly reduces barriers to running $FAVEDISTRO at work - often there are packages I need to use regularly that are windows only. For others, it may make the idea of playing around with $DISTRO for the first time more appealing, while continuing to run windows. Perhaps this will be a good alternative to qemu? (run faster? easier?) My downloads will begin when I go home for the day and I'll play when I can . . . My new computer I'm about to build for work will get an extra gig of RAM now I think!
