We have several blades running various operating systems in VMWare and windows as the host OS, that have been up for months now. Think about it ... If one isn't interacting with it much, then there's really nothing for windows to crash or get hung up on ... It's running six to eight VMWare images.

Subject: Re: linux, windows and vmware -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Vmware with windows as the host works rather well. Serial ports just work, since speakup isn't taking them as under linux. The disadvantage is that windows is very unstable, to the point of needing to be rebooted every cupple of days. If you run vmware under linux and emulate windows, the windows at least for me was sort of slow. Also, sharing between the two operating systems will be an issue - either way. Samba can help with that, or windows file sharing on the windows side. - - Tyler -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFGHPbrTsjaYASMWKQRAkkUAJ9RD5tcLtzuvZWJ1h0ueLaoD+gtaQCePMgZ wY43UECWrvrN7gjYI/t4eyE= =dnZt -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Speakup mailing list Speakup at braille.uwo.ca http://speech.braille.uwo.ca/mailman/listinfo/speakup
