Disclaimer--I've only used qemu on FreeBSD, not Linux, so for all I know, VB's performance on Linux is no better than qemu's. However, I have to say that I found VirtualBox's performance on Linux to be equal to or better than (subjective impression, no benchmarks, and as I've said, I don't have heavy needs for an MS installation) vmware. My only problems with VirtualBox were in getting it to use bridged networking with a wireless connection. I had no problem when it was connected by cabled ethernet, but judging from a bit of googling, I'm not the only one who couldn't get it working with wireless. Disclaimer number 2--I'm not at all experienced with bridging in Linux, it seems to be a bit different than what I do with FreeBSD, and it could easily be a PEBCAK problem. -- Scott Robbins GPG KeyID EB3467D6 ( 1B848 077D 66F6 9DB0 FDC2 A409 FA54 D575 EB34 67D6) gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys EB3467D6 Buffy: I lost a friend tonight and I may lose more!
