the problem with using vmware is that it nullifies the need for ltsp. isn't the idea to use ltsp and not have to purchase license to run the Win9x OS? using vmware is not a solution when trying to stay legal and not purchase the client OS.
from my recall, vmware was intended for business use as people such as ourselves used linux (or vice versa) and needed to be able to run some windows app because of business. The trade off ofcourse was some performance, but it worked. at anyrate, i've noticed alot of response that say 'use vmware' to various questions. anyone doing so should remember that while this may work, are you stay legal by doing so, if someone really wanted to audit you, do you own each copy of the installed WinOS installation, it doesn't matter if the install is within vmware, vmware is a seperate program all together. /rant joey ----- Original Message ----- From: Randall Craig <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Tom Lisjac <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: Jim Kohtz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; LTSP Discuss List <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, November 19, 2002 5:11 PM Subject: Re: [Ltsp-discuss] Windows apps under ltsp or linux > * Tom Lisjac ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) [021119 12:31]: > > > > > I have a training group that wants to put in 4 PC's as a group.
