: I got VmWare installed but I would like to check out Win4Lin, is it possible to run both or do they conflict with each other (the Win4Lin kernel change f.ex)?
Don't know, sorry. But as Win4Lin's technical support is very good you could always send them a mail (at www.netraverse.com).

Hi, There is one problem with Win4Lin that can and will cause problems. It requires patching of the kernel. At present Win4Lin 2.0 will not work with SuSE 7.1 (both 2.2.18 and the 2.4.x kernels). That is why I'm still stuck on SuSE 6.3 although at work I'm using it on SuSE 7.0 ( but is not as stable as my home system which could be caused by a bad CAB file). Win4Lin 3.0 is due out this month which should support SuSE 7.1. Win4Lin only supports Windows 9x. Win4Lin allows Windows to run on much lower spec hardware and supposedly runs windows considerably faster. It is a good solution where you want to run Office type applications. Not all applications will run using Win4Lin. Suggest you check out www.netraverse.com for details on Win4Lin 3.0 for further info. BTW I have not tried Vmware.
