Yeah - vmware is *very* impressive. Myself and Andrew Savoury have been running if off and on for a while now and it's very well implemented. (and kinda freaky - it's easy to forget what operating system you're running in) Martyn - what spec machine is it running on, because my only qualm was that it was a little slow on my box (PII-233), but aparently they've speeded it up a little now.

It's also something of a killer app if you're into developing operating systems, huh mark <g>

Guys,

Check out http://www.vmware.com - it is a very good site which offers the ability to run virtually any x86-based operating system within Linux. We're currently testing it here with Windows 98 and by all accounts things appear to be going quite well (we're still installing it, but that's just impressed me that it's getting that far!). There are some very crazy things that this thing can do ;)

I bloody love Linux ;)
