Re: [gentoo-user] getting Gentoo to work with VMware...

[HvR]

My experiences are different: the fact that i can compile the gentoo to match the actual processor  makes gentoo go faster than a redhat distro. yes i loose some efficiency by running vmware underneath but i think  the special compile makes up for that...
