I found it slow for the first minute or so until it gets iteself together properly, then it speeds up and runs at native speed - it has too, its running in virtual machine mode ! What I like is that I can have an NT box, a 98 box and a (separate) Linux box ALL running simultaneously, all talking over the net and all completely unaware of the other VMs. What hardware are you using ?

My Linux distie is SuSe 8.1 2.4.19 kernel


-VMWare seems to create a huge disk file and stores your entire "virtual hard drive" in that file. I was truly quite worried about what would happen if that file got corrupted.


I think you would be screwed, but the same goes for any windows box - and my Linux box here has had some pretty extreme things done to it, yet the NT "partition" works fine.
