VMware Workstation 6.5

Post by Red Squirrel »

I just installed it, it's quite slick so far and lot of new features I did not get to yet. I just can't believe how fast the guest OS runs in it.

If UO works in it without any graphic lag, I will really be able to consider switching my system to use Linux. :D

Linux powers a majority of all web servers and if done properly it is rock solid. It also runs faster.

I ran UO in a VM and it was as if I was running it on my main OS. So I will give Linux a try some time as UO is about the only thing I use in windows anyway.

They've come a long way as far as desktop goes for Linux.

Also at one point XP will be considered obsolete as newer technology is introduced and I will not touch Vista with a 22,000' long pole, so a flavor of Linux such as ubuntu seems like a good choice.

Agreed. I can haz linux plx. Only once XP is OFFICIALLY 100% Dropped from microsoft's lineup though. I will use it until the day of.

I don't have much an issue with XP so I'll probably do the same and wait.
