Frame in Windows emulation
Thanks to those who replied to my request. I'm somewhat more confident of continuing given your input. Graeme
Frame in Windows emulation
I am considering moving from a Windows to a Linux OS and running Framemaker V6 in a Windows emulation. I am amware of 1 person who has successfully run FM 7 under Ubuntu in this manner, and I'd welcome any further observations or comments anyone may have before I commit to this path - eg is Wine better or worse than VMWare, are particular flavours of Linux better or worse for this sort of thing, etc thanks Graeme

Re: Frame in Windows emulation
I'm using FrameMaker 7.0 (and have verified that 7.2 also works) on CrossOver Linux Standard 6.1.0 (http://www.codeweavers.com) on Mandriva (kernel 2.6.22). Ubuntu would be very similar. There is a small number of features that do not work: - Type 1 fonts - 'Save as ...' PDF http://www.codeweavers.com/compatibility/browse/group/?app_parent=2361 FrameMaker 6.0 should also be OK. I have not tried FrameMaker 8.0 on CrossOver. I would expect more trouble.

RE: Frame in Windows emulation
I can confirm excellent results running a Windows VM in Ubuntu (6.X) using the VMWare Server installed through Synaptic. I can't say if Wine is better or worse than VMWare. With a Virtual Machine, you have higher system overhead to run the guest OS...but a much greater likelihood that everything will work as you are used to and as expected. With Wine, you get to work in Linux, have lower resource overhead, but some things may not work as expected/at all. I figured that *for me*, the approach with the least amount of risk was to use a VM. (The fact that Virtual Machines are understood by my colleagues was also a consideration. Linux is not (yet) a popular OS in my office.) -Michael -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Graeme Worth Sent: Wednesday, October 03, 2007 10:43 AM To: framers@lists.frameusers.com Subject: Frame in Windows emulation I am considering moving from a Windows to a Linux OS and running Framemaker V6 in a Windows emulation.
