Cheng: So how is that any different then if the users had their own Win PC's instead? The only new variable is VMWare is just one more possibility of things to trouble shoot, but all the other issues are the same.

We're thinking of trying it. I think it is OK to use for yourself - you will see what I mean if you read on. we had VMware 3.1 running on a few redhat 8.0 desktops before and installed win2k. it was ok as far as the users stayed on their local machine. but when the users try to use the internet, email, printing, files from the servers, problems started. then you have the support problem. you will need a few supporters (if you are in a large org) to solve one problem because it may be the network, the linux, the win2k, the servers, the email server etc. hope that the above is useful. cheng --- Ben Sheron <ben@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Hello Ben > > VMware is a quality product.
