hi brian,
im fully aware about VMware and its a good product. however in my case,
im doing a lot of stuff like im comparing the tcp stack of linux versus
freebsd, efficiency of its threads during heavy loads of linux versus
freebsd, memory management and many more. in order to test these
comparisons, you need a stand alone of every OS on the same box so that
apple can be compare to apple and orange can be compare to orange. since
vmware let the OSes share those hardware devices, control the main thread,
control the memory and etc. therefore vmware is not suited for my needs.
fooler.
