Slight change of topic here. Does anyone know if VMware Workstation 3.0 will run on Reiser?

Thanks

Currently running VMware 2.0.3 under kernel 2.4.17. I have found it to work well for me. From memory there was an issue with reiserfs and vmware 2.0.3. This was about 12 months ago. The solution was to upgrade the kernel. By the way which kernel are you using ? Brian Marr.

Hello SuSE folkz, Does somebody know any good alternatives to Vmware to run a few M$ applications as Word97, Excel97. My manager still can't get rid of his nasty habit of using M$ applications. Many thanks in advance for any advise or source of information.

P.S. Information for thoughts: Initially we ran VMware-2.0.3 on a half of our engineering workstations in parallel with Linux (SuSE7.1 and SuSE7.3) After six months of usage, suddenly, all these workstations started to crash for no apparent reasons. It was looking as a hard drive falure. In the same time workstations which ran Linux only, continued to run without any problems. Hardware wise our 12 engineering workstations are all identical. Is it possible that running in parallel VMware on Linux could cause such system crashes?

I just downloaded wine from codeweavers. Before getting deep into it I wonder if anybody knows whether wine from codeweavers eecutes m$ office 97. From what I've read, crosover-oofice is a prepackaged version of wine. Am I right or missing something? Regards, Oyku Jerry Feldman wrote:

This was partially answered. Probably the best solution is to use Crossover Office. I recently installed it (had a few minor problems link some symlinks not being set and icons not created). There tech support responded very quickly and their CEO also responded (I run a Linux user group). http://www.codeweavers.com. This allows you to run MS Office and Lotus notes directly under Linux. Not much additional overhead. Last night in my Unix class, I started the class with Star Office, then with the same presentation (created under Star Office) I brought up Microsoft Power Point. Crossover Office simulates the Windows environment, so you get My Documents et. al. Your home directory appears as a Windows share. Crossover Office is a commercial product which costs about $55US for their download version. Most of the $$$ go into the support and development effort, and much is returned back to the community. Crossover Office is essentially and enhanced version of Wine.

Another solution is a lighter weight VM, Win4Lin. This actually runs Windows9x as a Linux process. You need a Windows license. Under Win4Lin you are running Windows as you are with VMWare.

I think you are correct. They also have support for Office 97. On 3 Apr 2002 at 18:30, Oyku Gencay wrote:
