Re: status of vmware
Are you guys (and girls) running it under full-screen ? I've had no problems with vmware (4.5 with the any-any patches) running XP but everytime i try going full screen it freezes my machine :/ Wait, I have one weird problem, but I'm sure it's not debian or amd64 related: everytime I join my vmwared XP to our Windows Domain my samba printer database (the .tdb files) get corrupted..

Re: status of vmware
I have had exactly the opposite experience. Vmware 4.5 with the any-any patches works perfectly for me, while v5 beta won't even install, complaining about the ia32-libs, and asking me to upgrade from libc5 to glibc. Did you do anything special to get it to install? Thanks, Brett David Wood wrote: My brief impression of vmware 4.5 with the any-any patches was that it was so unstable as to basically be unusuable for anything but a proof of concept. Vmware has begun an open beta program for v5, which I can report is substantially improved (only one crash so far). However, given how these things could work, there could be a long lag between the beta shutting down and the commercial release...

Install the any-any update and compile a 64 bit module for vmware. I use it almost everyday for work ;-(. The only problem that have noticed is usb devices are not correctly handled when running vmware under 64 bit. Also it is very stable, and runs my work applications nicely.

I haven't used it a lot, but I haven't had problems either. WinXP installed on Debian sid pure64. Incidentally, you may want to try the free beta-version of WinXP-64bit, which seems to run better on amd64 hardware. I haven't tried it in vmware but would expect it to work.
