Re: Virtualization recommendation
If your primary OS is the Linux one, then I recommend installing it as a host and use VirtualBox ( basically because its so easy to use ) If you intend to play 3D games on win7 then note that it wont work on a vitalized OS. In my case I just created a separated portion just for win7 / games. As for the Vista, throw it away and install win7, no reason to waste future time on upgrade. Win7 work so much better then Vista as a host and as an guest. -- Michael Ben-Nes - Internet Consultant and Director. http://www.epoch.co.il - weaving the Net.

RE: Virtualization recommendation
Hi, Here's another vote for VirtualBox. Using it in both Windows host / Linux guest, Linux(64bit) / Linux(32bit) and Linux / Windows. Integration with host is excellent. Support is also quick & responsive. You might want to make sure your laptop has a healthy amount of RAM, regardless of the virtualization solution you choose.

Does anyone have up-to-date information regarding the possibility of using the existing installed Vista partition as a a VMWare (or similiar) client under Linux ? What I mean is - leave the existing Vista installation alone, install Linux on a separate partition (creating a multi-boot configuration), configure VMWare to use the Vista partition as a client. I have done this sort of thing in the past with older versions of Windows, but haven't done it recently. I like this setup because if something doesn't work under the Windows virtual machine, you can boot into Windows and check it out there. One of the reasons I haven't used this setup recently is because I have SCSI disks, and VMWare has a problem using the Windows partition as a client when the Windows partition is on a SCSI disk. I am very interested to know if anyone has information that could help me. At the moment, if I need to run something under Windows, I have to reboot :-(. > > >From what I have read so far I have the following options: > > 1.

Re: [!! SPAM] RE: Virtualization recommendation
Hi, Depends. Both Ubuntu and RedHat push KVM as the virtualization solution. IMHO it is the fastest from the three. It is also most open one.

We use xen heavily on CentOS 5 at work and am pretty excited that RH 5.4 is out with KVM "preview tech", I'm not an expert but got the impression that KVM might get things better than Xen eventually. > VMWare is ok, but I don't like it's integration with Ubuntu (have to jump > hoops for the audio from virtual machine to get through).
