Last night I downloaded the new free versions of:
- VMWare server last night.
- MS’s Virtual PC 2004.
I’d played with a free (then warezed) version of Virtual PC 2004 before and was pretty impressed.
Well, I am writing this in virtual (VMWare) version of the the latest Ubuntu offering. I must say it’s even better than MS’s offering.
I can’t really offer too much in the way of insight into the newer version of Ubuntu as I’ve only just installed literally seconds ago. But the way VMWare cranks along – yeah I like it. And free is good too. And this is on an ancient machine with only 512MB of RAM.
The only problem I had was that it installed the virtual HDD as a SCSI rather than IDE. No biggy though – took all of 1 minute to find and fix.
Must go – world of warcraft awaits…
