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
