I don't think so. In the old days we used to run ME in a VM under linux to do distributed computing jobs. It worked fine on a singe AMD 1800+ CPU. No doubt multi core CPUs might simplify virtualisation though, especially if the VM only sees a single core CPU. >> Generally speaking, any modern Linux distro tailored towards desktop >> use will work just fine. > 100% ok. > i'm working with suselinux 10.3 (happily) OK.
