VMWARE

voidmain:
Yes and no. On the processor yes. On the rest of the stuff no. For instance, no matter what network card or video card you have VMware will expose a standard make/model to the guest OS (the OS you are going to install into a virtual machine). For instance, the OSes you install on your VMware will detect the exact same hardware (except for processor) that it detects on my system even though we have different brands of physical video and network cards.

This makes installing operating systems very easy. And if I wanted to I could transfer the disk image of an OS I installed on one physical computer, over to a completely different computer that is running VMware and boot it up, and all of the hardware will work because the OS sees it as the same hardware. It's really very cool.

its very cool apart from the fact that it would run crappy on my computer

voidmain:
Yes, you need a healthy machine. If it's any consolation it runs great on my Athlon 1600 w/512MB RAM. Sometimes I wish I had more RAM though when I start running more than one server OS at the same time.

Doogee:
lol ill wait till i get a new computer then.

Doogee:
I think this is kindof on topic.

Is there anyway to run mac stuff like os 8 and os 9 on linux, with an emulator or something? im very interested in macs, but i just dont have to cash.
