I run OpenBSD-current under VMware2 (on my FreeBSD-current laptop) and also run NT4 when I need to read lotus scrotes mail at work. It's very stable (bar the recent module changes which are probably now fixed with the latest vmware2/Makefile update). Mark Knight (cc'd) runs FreeBSD-current in a vmware2 box under NT very successfully up until about a week ago (he's having some nasty panics with currents built within the last week). Julian Elischer runs FreeBSD-current under vmware? on a FreeBSD-current box with no complaints afaik. > Just wondering, It's worth the $99 in my book ! > James. > ------------------------------------------------------- > ICQ #19675056 > Public key available at: > http://www.dreamscape.com/halstead/jh.asc > ------------------------------------------------------- -- Brian <brian@Awfulhak.org> <brian@[uk.]FreeBSD.org> <http://www.Awfulhak.org>; <brian@[uk.]OpenBSD.org> Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour !
