[opensuse] Instructions sought
Where can I find detailed instructions as to what to get and how to install it, in order to call up my Windows XP while in SuSE 10.2? I have Windows installed along with my Linux. -- Best regards, Dennis J.

You would need a virtualization software, such as VMware or Parallels. Or, if you have the "vt" extension for Intel or "svm" extension for AMD on your CPU, you can use Xen for it. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Thanks. How do I chose among these alternatives? How do I know what "extension" I have for Intel (I have the first version of Centrino). Thanks again for your response -- Best regards, Dennis J.

Basically by trying and testing. I normally use vmware myself, but I have a license for it from work. It is a bit pricey

Run "cat /proc/cpuinfo" and read the "flags" line. If you find "vt" in there, you can run XP under xen. But with a centrino, I doubt you will have it -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

there is a free vmware server for personal use. The drawback is a great loss of performance that makes it bad for games :-)) jdd -- http://www.dodin.net Lucien Dodin, inventeur http://lucien.dodin.net/index.shtml -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

&, VMplayer is free
But useless until you have a virtual machine defined and built by something like vmware workstation. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen

The loss primarily comes in the area of graphics. They emulate a pretty low-end graphics adaptor and there's certainly no 3D support in that emulated graphics adaptor. Depending on how you configure your virtual machine, disk I/O incurs varying amounts of overhead. I use physical drives, so the overhead is quite low. Using virtual drives (where the emluated drive is backed by a host system file) yields greater overhead and somewhat less performance. But the rest, basic program execution, is limited only by the fact that you're sharing your CPU (and RAM) resources. But that's true even when there's only one OS running.
