Want to VM M$ XP on FC6 --- Xen or VMware?

[John Collier]

SEP,

Your input is always welcome, late or not. Don't sweat the little things :-)

I will keep the info on Xen in mind and try it out sometime in the future.


Van den Broeck Tijl,

I appreciate the info on VirtualBox. Since I have already made my choice, I will do the same with this info as I will with SEP's info on Xen.


Dirk,

I'm sure that it could be done via Samba (although I have to admit to not thinking of it until you mentioned it) but that seems like a lot of work for something that is included in the version of VMware I currently own. Thanks for the input, though.


Now, if I could get someone to chime in on the last question I asked about the update issue regarding the existing VMware package I have chosen to use, I could hand out the last bunny for this thread and close it off.

Anybody want another bunny badly enough to chime in on that issue?

Shalom,

Chiming in is my business.

Now that I have a valid, working install of VMware Workstation, would anybody be kind enough to explain how the upgrade from 5.0 to the current 5.5 would work?

I haven't bothered to upgrade my vmware yet.

However my two office mates did. The upgrade was smooth and destroyed no existing vmware machines. 5.5 was a features enhancement and also provided support for more modern linux distributions. I do not believe it supports Vista which is not permissible in our company at this time(Thank G-d).
