Just thought I'd happily report that openSUSE 10.3 seems to run Vista under Virtualbox very nicely. So far Vista hasn't crashed once, and 10.3 handles multiple tasks very well.
Two questions:
1) Is this a multi-core or multi-processor system? 2) How does Vista cope with the virtualized graphics adaptor? (I was under the impression it required a heavy-duty graphics card.)

You prefer Vista?
Very much so. I have always hated XP, in fact, it is why I moved to Linux. Vista is *almost* ready for the general population. You still don't have a central package management system, and it crashes more than openSUSE but I've been running it for over a year on one of my desktops. It is almost as good as Win2K was. (I still have Win2K on my wife's computer.) openSUSE, however, is much more usable and has far superior features. I only use the VM for work-related items, such as running our C#-based applications or IE-only intranet sites that require ActiveX. -- kai www.filesite.org || www.4thedadz.com || www.perfectreign.com remember - a turn signal is a statement, not a request -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
