[clue-tech] VMWare

[Craig Magtutu]

    gary,

    VMWare has performed well for my group at work as well as on my home
machine. most of my experience has been running a guest NT setup within
a redhat host. we have plenty of memory to spare on some boxes at work,
but my home setup struggles a bit when other processes besides VMWare
need extra memory.

    i think you'll find this program pretty fascinating, and worth every
penny. definitely try the demo first, though. i thought i'd also mention
that there are plenty of people on the CLUE list that have experience
with VMWare, so you won't be left wondering too long about any
questions.
