[ale] anybody vmware?

[Dow Hurst]

I've had vmware for a long time and have some version of 4.x running.  You 
have plenty of RAM and disk space for at least two virtual systems.  I've got 
XP and 98 as guest OSes.  I give XP 256Mb RAM and 98 192Mb RAM.  Each install 
is on 4Gb virtual disks.  I have OOo 1.1.0, Mozilla 1.4, Gimp, Schrodinger's 
Maestro, a running molecular minimization, over 6 shells, XMMS playing Ogg 
files, KOrganizer, KDE 3.1, and ssh sessions, other users logging in and 
transferrring files back and forth, and all this at the same time I have the 
Win98 virtual machine running.  I have 1Gb RAM and 1Gb swap defined and about 
10Gb left of free disk space.  2.8GHz P4 running RH9.0.

I am very happy. :-)
