I am, however, being pressured a bit to 'conform', and the company is now shelling out for licensed versions of VMWare. I've just assisted with the installation of a RH6.1 system with VMWare and then NT4/WS, and, apart from a few little glitches (mainly to do with NT), we had it up and on the local NT Domain in less than 6 hours (including a lunch-break). My question: what would I need to do to use the licensed (real) version of VMWare on FreeBSD rather than the (I believe) 'trial' version that comes in the ports? I'll have a closer peruse of while I'm waiting for comments here ;') Thanks and regards, haxxa To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
