I am going to rebuild my laptop, using FreebSSD 4.x STABLE. I need to be able to run certaain programs for specialized equipment, which only unfortunatley run under m$ OS'es. My plan is to use VMware to acomplish this. Presently I am dual booting this machine wiith FreBSD 3.4 STABLE amd NT. I would like the advice of others who have used VMWare. Should I set this machine up as a dual boot machine? Or should I completly rely on using NT under VMWare? I need Novell networking, and to be able to use NT drivers for a proprietory PCMCIA interface card. How good is the VMWare emualtion at things like this? Should I dual boot the machine, and set up VMWare to allow me to access the NT apps from within FreeBSD, ot jsut make it FreeBSD only, and run VMWare for everything? I would appreciate hearing from people who have used VMWare. -- Stan Brown stanb@netcom.com 404-996-6955 Factory Automation Systems Atlanta Ga. -- Look, look, see Windows 95. Buy, lemmings, buy!
