By your same reasoning Gimp or Linux or any of the other open source applications are not real.

I don't know how good Xen will be in 5.1, but it's an option. I myself have been toying with the idea of a minimal CentOS 5.1 Xen install, no GUI just a small Dom0, and then running an Ubuntu DomU with GUI on 1 virtual console and Windows XP on another, possible a Fedora on a 3rd and keeping the VM images in raw LVM LVs that are allocated and managed from the Dom0. This may be the ideal way to go with such beefy hardware to make sure you use up all those nice resources effectively. -Ross __ This e-mail, and any attachments thereto, is intended only for use by the addressee(s) named herein and may contain legally privileged and/or confidential information.

I run Photoshop Elements on my VM Windows guest and have no trouble with copying, pasting, etc., except for the time delay - it takes a little longer to access the host files through samba than directly under CentOS. I will freely admit, though, that I don't do a lot of graphics manipulations in APSE - the main uses I have for it are printing (sometimes - my GIMP just won't print images at all, and sometimes the image viewer won't, either) and saving files in formats that GIMP doesn't support. Occasionally I'll also use APSE for quickie tweaks because it has different features from GIMP. The biggest advantages to running Windows as a VM under CentOS are, of course, stability, reliability, and if your Windows guest crashes, you can just reboot it. If it crashes hard, and you take good care of backing up your VM disk, you can restore it fairly quickly from your last good backup. But, you knew that, right? :-) mhr ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

What does Adobe have to say about running these apps on CentOS-5/x86_64 ? heck, do these things even run on Linux at all ? I suppose you can locate alternatives OR, do you really intend to even run these apps on that box of yours ? or are you only looking for virt abstract layer ?
