VMware for Linux:
... a great idea, sounding very similar to a free project called bochs. The idea is to have a virtual machine that emulates all the hardware of an IBM-Compatible computer, and allow window to run on it and think that it is a computer. Though the idea may have started of by looking at the bochs project, VMWare is far more complete. It emulates all hardware, and appears to do it well. I managed quite easily to run...

WINE Wine is an implementation of the Windows 3.x and Win32 APIs on top of X and Unix. Think of Wine as a Windows compatibility layer. Wine provides both a development toolkit (Winelib) for porting Windows sources to Unix and a program loader, allowing unmodified Windows 3.1 / Application /95/NT binaries to r... |

Hu-Go! Linux ... of you probably won't have heard of LOAF (Linux On A Floppy). It is one of many distributions of Linux which is minimalist enough (don't expect a GUI) to fit on a humble 3.5" floppy disk. You still get all the main utilities you would expect in a unix type environment, but the self contained little thing can be conveniently run (from boot-up) on a PC set up with Microsh*t type OS, without hassling over partition tables or completely overhauling your OS. Not enough features (a GUI would be nice - see Mu Linux :) to recommend this for your main OS :O, but certainly handy, especially when windows has screwed up, and you need a way of sorting certain thi...

VMware for Linux ... idea behind VMWare is pretty incredible . How can you split one computer into many ? Get one machine to implement one or many virtual machines in software . Many of the emulators for various systems you'll use will run some games with glitches but seeing as how complicated it is to emulate a PC VMWare is a stunning product . So what do you get ? You get as many virtual machines as you have memory to run at once . Since modern operating systems need at least 30-40 megs of ram to run reasonably you're going to need a fair amount if you want to be able to run a couple of machines together . As well as a virtual machine you get a virtual Soundblaster 16 ca... Read the full review: What a nifty bit of kit ... by nullpoint |

VMware for Linux ... the abilty to run a windows PC inside a Linux environment sounds OK to me. (although Linux geeks probably cannot think of anything worse) The need for compatibilty with the 95% of people out there running windows or similar is one of the main stumbling blocks for the Linux community in general. Alongside WINE (which is supposed to emulated a windows box as well - but by allowing XWindows to run PC apps) this is one solution you can use to get a windows environment working in your Linux installation. It works by essentially using a certain amount of your system to emulate a less powerful PC. It runs all of the things a PC would do in hardware, using software. ...
