If you are ALLREADY dual booting windows 95/98/NT and need the windows environment then VMWARE makes some sense since you already own the windows licence. If you are constantly rebooting to switch applications then it makes even more sense. However if your goal is to replace windows with linux but want to run a few of your old windows apps it would make more sense to first try them under wine, or replace them with linux native versions (where available). With Corel now in the wine camp, I would expect the usability of wine to make a huge leapfrog in the next year or so. rgds-- TA ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) I don't speak for the Federal Reserve Board, it doesn't speak for me. = Amateur Radio, when all else fails! http://www.qsl.net/wa2mze Debian Gnu Linux, Live Free or . __ Do You Yahoo!?

> Doesn't VMware make wine obsolete? VMware is not Free software. Not only is it not free, but it costs quite a bit! And not only do you have to buy VMware, but you then ALSO need to buy your guest OS from Redmond. If you really need a full Windows setup, then VMware might be the answer for you, but it's not yet at the point where it can even make dual-booting obsolete for everyone since it does not support MIDI sound, joysticks, or 3-D graphics cards. VMware is kinda heavy on the requirements side, too (minimum 96MB memory recommended). If you just need to run an app or two, VMware is overkill. rgds-- TA ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) I don't speak for the Federal Reserve Board, it doesn't speak for me.
