You could try it, gnome would be sluggish for you unless you have plenty of memory to spare, but I'm not sure. My problems may just be a Vinux issue though, because I ran a windows XP vm for testing for a while on the same system with the same amount of memory. I have not had the time to sit down and configure Linux+orca and gnome to see if it is in fact a Vinux issue though.

Hell, there are enterprize level sites ran out of the cloud, which is *gasp* virtual. My servers are virtual instances on big boxes with tons and tons of ram, and they run perfectly. Now, if you want a GUI... At least for Vinux, virtual does "blow," because it's slow, laggy and painfully slow.On 5/16/2011 12:44 PM, Katherine Moss wrote:Speaking of virtual, and sorry to get off topic, but I’m curious. I plan to run a virtual instance of Open Suse from Novell on my laptop using VMware player starting this summer. I want to get acquainted with the Unix environment just for the heck of it, but two of my friends say that virtual instances of any Linux distro don’t work very well and that they “blow”. What do you have to say about that? Do you agree or disagree? I ask because I want this to be a cool experience rather than a waste of my time.

The only thing is, although you mension the Vinux Project you do not make it a link. It should link to:http://www.vinuxproject.org/Also, if you would like another bash resource I have been teaching a class in a new Vinux experiment called Vinux Classes. It's an irc chat room set up specifically for teaching Vinux related classes.
