Out of curiosity, did this past week's meeting cover VM-Ware, or will I be lucky enough to get a chance to make it to another meeting in which it will be covered? In using Windows apps that have not yet been ported over to Linux, would I be better off running Wine or VM-Ware, or a combination of the two? I'm not very familiar with either one, but in looking at Wine's database, some of the programs that I have aren't supported under it. I do have the Wine admin handbook, but have yet to read it. I like the idea of running VM-Ware because, if I understand this correctly, it's a Windows install on top of Linux. Yet, on the other hand, I've also heard of a lot of instability with VM-Ware. Could anyone share some insight on some of the differences between the two, and make a recommendation of what might best be suited to my needs? Some of the apps that I'm running use a lot of Active-X. Or is it Direct-X? So hard to remember which of the two it is... To many X's and E's in today's terminology. Thanks, Shawn
