There is no Open Source VMware; there are free VMware products. But Workstations isn't that expensive and very much worth paying for [compared to the free products]. What is your own experience of VMware compared to the free product VirtualBox ?
VMware "just works", hosting anything I've tried. Create VM - install OS - Work. That is very much worth $$$. My experience with VirtualBox reminded me of my experience with WINE. It also felt like Xen. It probably works great, if your willing to fiddle and take the time to learn all about how VB / Xen works. I'm not. I need to develop, test, and run apps; I just don't care at all about how the software in question makes that happen. On occasion I've gone through VB's wizard to create a VM and subsequently had it fall down with some error message. And then I've deleted the VB VM and used VMware. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
