Re: FreeBSD as host OS for VMware
Qemu a try. If I recall correctly, I tried Qemu in the past and the performance was very poor compared to something like VMWare. Perhaps things changed. yes it is slower, but i am using it because i need windows just to access and export ms access databases. not often, speed doesn't matter that much ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I only use XP for some Winword stuff (when there is no other way in my business) or to look at web pages with IE when the pages are not working with Konqueror or Firefox. Qemu together with the kernel module are fast enough for that, no problems. matthias -- Matthias Apitz Manager Technical Support - OCLC PICA GmbH Gruenwalder Weg 28g - 82041 Oberhaching - Germany t +49-89-61308 351 - f +49-89-61308 399 - m +49-170-4527211 e [EMAIL PROTECTED] - w http://www.oclcpica.org/ http://www.UnixArea.de/ b http://gurucubano.blogspot.com/ OCLC PICA GmbH, Geschaeftsfuehrer: Christine Magin-Weeger, Norbert Weinberger Sitz der Gesellschaft: Oberhaching, HRB Muenchen: 113261 ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

FreeBSD as host OS for VMware
Hi, Many of us would like to see FreeBSD as host OS for VMware. If there would be enough of us to push onto VMware company, maybe someday this could actualy happen.

Check out (and give your vote) here: http://www.vmware.com/community/thread.jspa?threadID=10322 Sadly I think that a lot of the VM products are ignoring FreeBSD. I don't think VMWare is at all interested in supporting this OS. There is a similar thread over on Parallels forums. People keep asking and keep getting ignored. I have no idea why.
