You can set VMWare to use the linux devices though.. almost as good as direct
access.. <chuckle>.. I use it at work for running Notes, a frontend for an
Oracle database, Netscape, and a few other interfaces for the previous
database, I even play a few games on it (though I still can't get Q3 working..
neeeds a real video.. oh well.. ) It works pretty well.. if you are just
running apps and such, you shoud be fine... one of these days I am planning on
putting up a VM for an answering machine software that I have for windows.
Just my $.02
