John Alberts schrieb: true. I guess there is no point in running vmware in a guest os. Except a vserver-guest is much more easy to make a copy of, diddle with updates, configs and whatever - and so have a copy available that can be started within a few seconds when you misconfigure something. And you can move it much more easily to another physical machine. I wouldn't try to combine vmware in a vserver guest, though. Much too fiddly. ___ Vserver mailing list Vserver@list.linux-vserver.org http://list.linux-vserver.org/mailman/listinfo/vserver

Re: [Vserver] vmware in vserver?
I was curious about running vmware in a guest so that I could run an instance of windows on my linux box. That's the only thing I wish vserver could do is let me run windows as a guest os. Please don't start flaming with Why would you use WINDOZE anyway?. Sometimes it's necessary, especially for Windows admins like myself. :) Thanks for everyones input.

You might be spinning your wheels on that - many win-apps will detect vmware and refuse to run - even Windows virus applications will usually detect vmware and go into hiding. You might have better luck running Wine - http://www.winehq.com/ If you also have a licensed copy of the M$ dlls - you can set Wine to pick and choose between the M$ dlls and the ones provided with Wine.

Going way off-topic here, but I've never ever had any windows app refuse to run because it was running inside a vmware instance.

There is at least one: VMware products :-) - you cannot start a vm inside a vm. But I would be curious too what others are there. attila ___ Vserver mailing list Vserver@list.linux-vserver.org http://list.linux-vserver.org/mailman/listinfo/vserver
