Yes, it can be used that way.
But note, it doesn't have the vmware drivers as they violate the GPL and can not be redistributed, and virtualbox drivers, well, let's just say some of us looked at that code, and ran away screaming :)
Greg, I hope you're kidding ;)
About the virtualbox drivers? not at all.
We have open-vm-tools KMPs in the distribution, which brings all the drivers for a VMware session you possibly might need. All nicely under GPL.
Ah, sorry, I was confused, it's the vmware "host" side drivers that are still closed source. Those we can not redistribute. thanks, greg k-h -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
