Virtual PC was bought out a couple years ago by a year Microsoft. They use virtual pc's code to run MS virtual Server. I do not see any reason why you can not run linux on it.

Thought you could only run windows on it? Vmware's server products are apparently very good. Their Workstation product is really good, and has seamless support for many different OS's. We have used it here for almost two years now and its been invaluable for testing and development.

VMware workstation / VirtualPC are more like desktop tools (although I think they have some higher-end server-like products, but I haven't used them). -Michael -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of public Sent: Monday, November 01, 2004 12:06 PM To: 'Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion' Subject: RE: [Asterisk-Users] Linux and Windows >Asterisk is working only in Linux? Can not work in Windows 2000? � I'm an unashamed windows user. So I like to game, sue me ;) I'm surprised no one has mentioned VMware or virtualPC. I setup my first Asterisk system in VMware and when I wanted to drop a generic line card in an old 500mhz system for my home final server, I was prepared and had the experience of doing the linux/asterisk install and simply enabled Samba and ported the configuration files over. Not to mention, for multiple deployments, I have my vanilla linux/asterisk install virtual image ready to go for any new servers. Virtual machines are simply brilliant in that one can create a decently complex "virtual" network scenario and simulate trunking between X amount of servers without the need for a server farm. If one didn't need hardware in the box, then VMware is optimial for runtime servers. If my hardware fails I'm back up and running on another server running VMware in a matter of minutes. www.vmware.com (I'm not affiliated) -Bryan _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users -------------- Winckworth Sherwood Solicitors and Parliamentary Agents DX 148400 WESTMINSTER 5 : 35 Great Peter Street, London SW1P 3LR Telephone 020 7593 5000 Fax 020 7593 5099 -Confidentiality- This email message and any attachments are confidential; they may be subject to legal professional privilege and are intended for the named recipient only.
