Would someone please explain in simple english what the functional differences are between emulation & virtualization are as far as being able to run Windows applications under Unix / Linux in a "real world" (ie commercial office) environment ?? For what its worth I'd prefer to use an open source unix (FreeBSD / OpenBSD) rather than linux, however there are other issues (difficulty in getting StarOffice / CUPS / etc running reliably) that may force the use of something like Mandrake where at least StarOffice / CUPS do work properly. I've installed both bochs & codeweaver wine in Mandrake (neither of which are usable by other than hackers in FreeBSD/ OpenBSD) but haven't been able to get any Windows applications to install let alone run. Does anyone have experience with FreeMware / VmWare / plex86 / etc ?? and can recommend something that might do the job ?? _______________________________________________ wine-users mailing list wine-users@winehq.com http://www.winehq.com/mailman/listinfo/wine-users
