I'm a hoppy user of Win4Lin. It is a bit of a drag with kernel patches and
that sort of thing. Last time I looked a win4lin-v1 2.2.17 patch was not
available. It's good if all you want to do is run Win98 or Win95 for using
some apps - which is all I need it for.
VMware is good if you need yo utilise more heavy duty features of windows
of you need to emulate an entire machine or install another OS as Win4Lin
only does Windows9x. iI also found VMware quite sluggish on my machine.
Since I only need to use a few apps Win4Lin does me fine and it boots pretty
damn fast. Th eprice is better to.
My only problem with it is some wierd video problems but I can live with it.
Cheers,
Graeme
