Is VMware a real thing? Where >can I find more information on it. It does not quite "run anything on anything", but it is very useful. There is a version for WinNT, and a version for Linux. There is a freebsd port which gets the linux version working under FreeBSD. The linux version works better under linux than it does under freebsd (which is not much of a surprise), but it is still quite useful under freebsd. I use it to run either linux netbsd or win2k systems without having to shutdown freebsd on my system. In my experience, the latest version of the vmware2 port will probably assume you are running the latest version of freebsd-stable. Some discussion of vmware on freebsd can be found on the mailing list freebsd-emulation@FreeBSD.ORG --- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@eclipse.acs.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or drosih@rpi.edu Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
