Re: [SLE] Xen as replacement for vmware
VMware workstation is reasonable priced and works fine.
And VMware server is free and works fine also.
When did THAT go free??? I must have missed the announcement - thanks for the heads up!!!
Actually, I think VMWare player is free.

You need to have created a virtual server on a (not free) VMWare workstation.
If, however, you have a copy of Workstation already and have created a "virtual machine" then you can copy the machine over to your player install and use that.
Ah - and if you already have VMware, the player isn't really useful.. I use VMware mainly to deal with my palmpilot under linux.
Well, here's what I just did. I wasn't ready to purchase another copy of VMWare, but I have one already running on a Win2003 workstation. I copied the session over to my laptop, running 10.0 and VMPlayer. Now I have a VMWare session in my laptop, without needing to purchase another copy of VMWare. I had already paid the MS Tax for WinXP for the laptop, which I promptly removed. I do like the idea of trying out Palm Desktop under VMWare. I've yet to get the system to sync with my Zire 72. (I used to have no issue with my Tungsten E under 9.2 and 9.3.)

Hmm. That makes sense - I hadn't considered that particular application for (of) the VM player.

I jumped thru major hoops and finally got kontact to sync with my Tungston C - only to discover that I had wasted quite a bit of time and effort. I have an extremely complex time billing system that starts at the palm and goes to excel via a custom conduit. I can do without that package about as well as I can go without food. VMware 5 (not previous) handles USB devices (with a few caveats) - including the palm cradle. It's far and away the best way for me to do what I need under linux.

I came from programming - sort of. Never really left, but don't do it professionally anymore.

Not necessarily. The December edition of the French magazine L'Informaticien has an article about VMware Player on Suse 10. Basically it uses Qemu to create a .vmdk file and then describes how to create a .vmx file, using this I have W2K up and running. http://www.linformaticien.fr/sommaire/num031/somm044049.htm

Tres bon! Mais je ne sais pas lire des Français. Unfortunately, the pages are also not enlargable. (Is that a word?) Still, excellent idea. I googled a bit and found the first link to be helpful... http://johnbokma.com/mexit/2005/10/26/vmware-player-windows-xp.html ...though it is written from a Win32 perspective, it still gives some insight. <snip> -- kai - www.perfectreign.com www.livebeans.com - the new NetBeans community
