Hi,
I have just installed MS Virtual PC, but I need to find out if the virtual
machines installed with it are as accessible as those created with VMWare.
I have also tried with VMWare Workstation, and as a test I've installed a
Win XP Pro virtual machine under Win XP Pro, and the virtual OS was very
accessible (I am blind) but it worked a little slower than expected (even
though I have a Core 2 DUO at 3 GHz with 2 GB RAM and a 10000 RPM HD).
I wasn't able to use it because I didn't know how to set its share
directories and especially its network interface to be able to access the
internet from the virtual machine (if it is possible).
But MS Virtual PC might be a very good option... thank you for telling me
about it.
Will I be able to access the internet from the virtual Linux machine if I
need to connect to the internet only with a certain MAC address?
Thank you.
Octavian

I wouldn't recommend doing dev on windows for a linux environment. Dual
boot your machine with Ubuntu linux and use that instead. It'll save you
a lot of time and headaches.
Or even make yourself a virtual PC using MS Virtual PC and install a Linux
/ Apache / Modperl / Samba / MySQL / SVN etc into it (e.g. Debian is easy,
or whatever you need for your prod).
Put samba on the virtual linux box so you can edit code directly using
your fav PC editor. Each developer gets his own Linux environment, which
he can cart around on laptops etc, and can bounce apache without killing
anyone else etc. And once you have made one virtual Linux box, it is easy
to clone it.
