I've used VMWare, Win4Lin, and now, a win2k terminal server. vmware is rock solid, but a little resource hungry. win4lin is VERY fast, but doesn't yet provide 'microsoft networking' so you can't log in to an NT domain. A terminal server is also VERY fast, and gives you access to windows network resources.
Hope this helps. -----Original Message----- From: Joseph Dane [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, March 01, 2001 2:21 PM To: Jonathan Gift Cc: Debian Subject: Re: Comments VMWare? >>>>> "Jonathan" == Jonathan Gift <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: Jonathan> Hi, I might have to run a windows app, and one code copy Jonathan> protected at that.

Where would I store my apps docs? I use vmware, and love it. There are a number of ways to set it up, including allocating a chunk of a disk for it to setup a filesystem on, connecting to a samba server (possibly running on the same machine, in the 'host' linux OS), or (IIRC) using an existing NT filesystem. vmware virtualizes the entire x86 environment. prepare to be amazed as you boot your guest OS, see the familiar BIOS startup screen and POST, and have a fully functional NT desktop, all safely contained within an X Window. -- joe -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
