linux, windows and vmware

[Sina Bahram]

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.

Take care,
Sina

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.
