Does anybody know why us users of FreeBSD-4.8 are left out of support of vmware version-3? What can be the reason that _only_ fbsd5 and up is supported? The latter *IS* a developers branch, so everybody w/ production machines can only use vmware-2.x, which is much slower than the later version 3.x I see the diffs on a daily basis, running vmware3 on linux and vmware2 on FreeBSD. Version 3 really is much faster and one of the reasons I still run linux on that machine. The other is support for the CodeWeavers plugins and Office on linux. I surely hope they will support FreeBSD too one day. -- dick -- http://www.nagual.st/ -- PGP/GnuPG key: F86289CE ++ Running FreeBSD 4.8 ++ Debian GNU/Linux (Woody)
