Looks like it "should" work. Am I going to have a lot of tinkering to do, or is it pretty much read to go out of the box?
Many years ago vmware ran fine and was quite easy to install - back at early Win95, it replaced Sun WABI/WFW 3.11 on my Linux box. I gather there may be an issue with the latest kernels and a workaround is available. I was impressed as it appeared to be a separate box that could use the underlying Linux box as a print and file server and use the ethernet as though it was another box sitting on the hub with it's own IP address - Linux doing ipforwarding, I also used it to dial in to work using the modem. I stopped using it when it lagged behind what I was doing kernel-wise. Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce .... Hamradio G3VBV and keen Flyer =====LINUX ONLY USED HERE=====
