I couldnt get vmware to do anything in windows. It wouldnt do the network proeprly and it wouldnt run anything that needed directX. I only had the free trial so i couldnt really play around with it to get it to work.

You probably didn't get the installation configured properly (bridged networking is the key). And it will do *some* directx stuff but it's not for Windows gaming for sure. A good GeForce card (and the nVidia drivers) is a big help with the VMware installation in Linux. I don't use VMware for games though.
I do things like install Win2K Advanced server with a copy of Exchange Server and SQL server for testing between Linux and it. It works *perfectly* for that type of stuff. If you want to play DX windows games then you'll want a copy of Windows on a separate partition and dual boot. I have an R/C flight simulator that I have a copy of Win98 on it's own partition for. And that's the *only* thing I ever reboot for. It's actually been a couple of months since I even used that simulator though.

Yeah. It originally said "Everytime you masterbaute, god kills a kitten. Please, think of the kittens!".
I used my so-called mad Photoshop skills and changed it. LoL

Well, if you have enough money to buy enough hard drive to install 57 full distros of Linux, you probably have enough money for a copy of VMware.

True but I lack both :D . However if I had the money I'd get myself VMware

meh you can fit 57 distros in 40 GB easily enough. I think i might have about 57 GB in total (in all my computers) I am sure each distro would love to have 1 GB

Yes you can fit a distro in that amount of space, but I said full distros which would probably add up to about 3GB each. 3*57=~150GB. So it would take a couple of drives at a coupla hundred bucks each. For a coupla hundred bucks you can get VMware. I think it's more than worth the price of a hard drive. But that's just me. I have actual reasons for running multiple OSs at the same time. It's also cheaper than buying 2 or 3 more computers and uses less power and I don't have to walk as far, etc, etc, etc.
