First, make sure you have enough memory (if you assign 512mb to the VM, have at least 512mb available for each instance of the VM you want to run + what you need for your deb install + some spare memory).
Secondly, create the whole disk at once (do not use the ´incremental option´, or however it´s called, which sizes your disk on the fly). These are the two most important perfomance factors in my experience. If you take care of this, VM´s will run at about native speed. Good luck!

Hi, I plan to set up a Windows terminal server. In order to easily backup the entire Windows system, I plan to install Debian Sarge as base system, then VMWare and in VMWare the Windows OS. Will I get a decreased speed performance in the VMWare Windows or will the Microsoft OS run approximately with the same performance as when installed directly without Linux. May I run in other problems (or restrictions) with my Windows system when run in VMWare? Thank you. Chris -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
