Just wanted y'all to have a look-see at the beauty and practicality of running linux - while running WinXP in a VMware window!
Machine: Intel Celeron 1.2ghz / 512mb RAM / GeForce 4-MX 64mb RAM Screen res is 1600x1200 - the WinXP screen res is 1280x1024 The VM disk is 6gb, with 256mb RAM virtual for the XP VM. SB-Live! sound, printing directly through /dev/lp0 to a Canon BJC 265SP, using Samba to access the host file system, NAT on the virtual ethernet for "outside" internet access. The VMware XP is visible and accessible to the other workstations on the internal network here - as a regular workstation with no issues. Actually runs faster in a VM than on real hardware - go figure... And who says you need to dual boot? (I have VM's of Win95, Win98, MS-DOS 6.22 w/ QEMM 7.8 and Desqview/X - AND WFW 3.11, MDK v9, OS/2 Warp3 and currently working on a VM of BeOS 5.0.3 Personal Edition) -- Wed Dec 4 21:40:01 EST 2002 .o0 linux user:267497 0o. -------------------------------- | __ __ | kühn media australia | / \ /| |'-. | http://kma.0catch.com | .\__/ || | | | | _ / `._ \|_|_.-' | stephen kühn | | / \__.`=._) (_ | email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | |/ ._/ |"""""""""| | email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | |'. `\ | | | icq: 5483808 | ;"""/ / | | | | smk ) /_/| |.-------.| | mobile: 0410-728-389 | ' `-`' " " | Berkeley, New South Wales, AU -------------------------------- Coralament*Best Grötens*Liebe Grüße*Best Regards*Elkorajn Salutojn "Oh sure, this costume may look silly, but it lets me get in and out of dangerous situations -- I work for a federal task force doing a survey on urban crime.
