I have never used Win4Lin. I think VMWare is great. However, I was fortunate enough to by it when you could still get the full blown version for personal use, for $100. VMWare is very expensive, so if Win4Lin meets your needs, it's probably the way to go. On a side note ... I am trying to upgrade a Win98 virtual Machine to a beta2 copy of Windows XP, and so far it's failing miserably. I was looking forward to trying XP without having to mess up a machine ... something that VMWare states as a plus of it's product. XP complains immediately about the VMWare video driver, but even using the windows VGA driver causes XP to unexpectedly crash the VMWare session. -----Original Message----- From: ob_ok@gmx.net [mailto:ob_ok@gmx.net] Sent: Thursday, April 12, 2001 10:22 PM To: suse-linux-e@suse.com Subject: [SLE] [VMWARE] Compare win4lin:Vmware 2ndtry Dee McKinney schrieb:
After trying to dink with win4lin for awhile, I settled on VMware Express. Works excellent. I'd still like to see win4lin keep up with SuSE distro's but they are a small company right now.

I have Win4Lin running under 6.4 after some manual jiggery-pokery on the kernel patch as Win4Lin only supports SuSE kernels up to 6.3. Applying the patch by hand may be daunting to non-programmers, but I haven't been one of those for nearly 25 years.
Can someone please give an overview on how these two subsystems compare? I mean, what does Win4lin offer, that vmware does not (yet)have and vice versa.
