It is a W4L version to run W2K and XP only. It is a client product.

It is dog slow. You must install kqemu to get any performance out of it. Mercifully, they included it with the product. However, most reports are that it takes a long time to load and programs are v e r y slow. Read the forum pages. Also, you noted that W4L 9x is at version 6? This is incorrect. Version 5 is current. And there _IS_ a win4lin in portage. 5.1.1 is the latest and current. However note that the kernel patches for 2.6.14 don't exactly work right. Again read their forum pages. Win4Lin 9x: http://www.win4lin.com/phpBB2/viewforum.php?f=4 Win4Lin Pro: http://www.win4lin.com/phpBB2/viewforum.php?f=6 Good luck. > Peter wrote: > >>On Thu, 22 Dec 2005 18:39:29 -0700, Tom Smith wrote: >> >> >> >>>VMware isn't an option.
