MsVS won't run the newest Linux kernels according to several people who have tried. Not that this is likely to be an evil MS plot at the moment, it's just we do some clever stuff with the hardware. Whether they fix it will be the question. > [1] VMware did a pilot of a version for Linux and Windows (before GSX and ESX > existed) that was enabled to run OS/2 as a guest, and it worked great -- but > they pulled the pin due to "lack of demand".

That will improve as the JIT does. Unlike vmware it can run OS/2 on non x86 hosts. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
