Can you please tell me which version of VMWare you are using that has good speed and you have tested that on Breezy... I need a testing area, Qemu is very slow and I cannot work with that and I've heared VMWare is not a free software and we should register that to use... do you know any free other free solution ?

Hmmm, I can only agree. I run VMware in Breezy with a 4 year old motherboard, modest 1.5GHz CPU with 768 of RAM, and I was amazed to see that Windows XP runs actually better as a guest than as a host on the same machine, a technical wonder. However, strangely, runnning Dapper in VMware is very sluggish to say the least. Good enough for the purpose (testing it and reporting bugs), but I couldn't use it for production work if I needed to. So if WinXP is fast as a host but slow in VMWare, I think it's probably lack of RAM. I think 512MB is a minimum to be really comfortable a modern Desktop like Gnome and big apps. But I am even happier now I upgraded to 768. The more RAM the better :-) -- Vince -- ubuntu-users mailing list <a href="mailto:ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com">ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com</a> <a href="http://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users">http://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users </a> </blockquote></div> -- ================================================== Yours Sincerely, Mehdi Hassanpour ---------------------------------------------------------------------- /* Of one Essence is the human race, Thusly has Creation put the Base; One Limb impacted is sufficient, For all Others to feel the Mace. ~Saadi (persian poet) -1258 */ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- <a href="http://ImPersian.com">http://ImPersian.com</a> | <a href="http://Hezardastan.org">http://Hezardastan.org</a> ==================================================
