Several of you are running VMWare. I'm interested in which Linux distros you're using for hosts and which Windows clients you're using as clients.
Had a couple hours free this afternoon, so I took a shot at installing VMWare on Kubuntu and then Win2K on that. Went smooth as silk. I followed the HOWTO here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=183209 and it pretty much "Just Worked (tm)" I installed it on a scratch partition on my current triple boot WinXPPro, Kubuntu, CentOS ThinkPad, so I could only give it a small 3Gb VM space, but I'm planning on retiring the current HDD and swapping in a new clean 80 Gb one. I picked W2k for three reasons: I needed an NT-level kernel for the apps I support, I didn't need WinXP's CandyLand theme, and it was the first bootable disk I came across <s>. So, let's see... SP4 first, then Windows Update, then GriSoft for a virus scanner, then FireFox, OpenOffice.org, PuTTY, WinSCP3... install could take a while, but this is just the practice run. Performance is acceptable, a shade shy of snappy, but sufficient for the one app I have to run. -- Ted Roche Ted Roche & Associates, LLC http://www.tedroche.com _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
