I use Win4Lin, it's a much thinner emulation layer than VMWare is (can only run 95/98), so it is *fast*, unlike VMWare. :) And it's cheap, $40 or $50 depending on whether you want to download or get a real CD. It's not as complete as vmware is, the networking support isn't a full network card emulation, they just emulate winsock, but for most stuff it's just fine. -- Ben Reed ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) lOST: oNE 'cAPS lOCK' KEY. rEWARD OFFERED. http://defiance.dyndns.org/ / http://radio.scenespot.org/
