It would be great to have more reliable support for VMware, as it can be a very helpful tool. I am also hopeful that the guys at http://www.serenityvirtual.com/ will eventually get to their virtual-machine product, which is supposed to run natively under FreeBSD. Right now they're still in the beta-version process, and they have not started to beta-test the product which will run with FreeBSD as the host OS. (perhaps they're waiting for 5.3-stable... :-). Right now my solution is to keep running VMware 2 on my freebsd 4.10-system. Neither of those are changing much, so that works well enough for my purposes. But if I had an option which would reliably work on a 5.x-system, that would be very helpful. -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad_at_gilead.netel.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad_at_freebsd.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or drosih_at_rpi.eduReceived on Wed Jul 21 2004 - 22:59:27 UTC
