I'm going to install VMware 2.02 on RH 6.1, hw is AMD K6/2-450, 128MB,
3.1GB IDE hd, 3c905B nic, SBawe32 ISA. Soliciting advice, experiences,
recommendations, caveats, and 'gotchas'.

Also, I understand rule is RAM/2 for host and guest, but will an up from 128
to 256MB really significantly improve performance? And, how big the swap?

Also, I'm divided on whether to use known NT4, or unknown W2K, as guest
OS. Opiniions? Lastly, any Win apps that don't work? (Prefer empirical
instead
of subjective experience, please.  :-)

Thanks much.
