I installed vmware on similar machines running linux (slackware) and FreeBSD, and as guest i installed netbsd (on slack), win98 (on slack), slack (on freebsd) freebsd (on freebsd - actually i booted the host fbsd in the virtual machine :> ). I don't want to sound too objective but performances were way better when running vmware on linux and fbsd then on 2k & XP. Same thing goes for configurability (bridging more then one netcard for example). Recently i installed linux in vmware on an XP host. I have to wait about 2-3 minutes for the XP host to initialize its netcards in order to properly start the linux guest (installed as a router for the local network there), and i had to guess how to setup bridging as there was no documentation about bridging more then one netcard I end my statement here (no, i don't care if it's incomplete and without more arguments) -- Jay On Tue, 2003-04-01 at 18:03, Adrian Penisoara wrote: > Hi, >=20 > Whoever tried FreeBSD 5.0-RELEASE/-current as a guest OS in VMWare > (either 2.0.4 under FreeBSD 4.x or VMWare 3.2 under Windows NT platform) > knows that it would run very slowly and even the system clock would run > very quickly. >=20 > One solution for this problem is to recompile your kernel with the > following option: >=20 > options CPU_DISABLE_CMPXCHG >=20 > This works at least for VMWare 2.0.4 under FreeBSD 4.
