Don't forget QEMU when mentioning VMWare :) QEMU is an open source computer emulator. I've run Win95, 98, NT, 2K, XP and other operating systems under QEMU quite sucessfully. It does have an optional closed-source kernel module based accelerator which works very well, and if you're okay using that then all the better. It's a lot more open than VMWare :) There's a couple of apps that I use that only work on Windows, and I run them under a virtual machine once in a while. The VM images are actually on a usb drive and work fine from there. Cheers, Al. -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/
