My Ubuntu 64 under vm ware player on a Intel I3 2.1 with only 4 GB runs vinux 
just fine giving it 3 gb of ram and 2 cpu.  you can give it up to 3.8 without 
killing the machine.  if you only have 4 GB to give.  I will let you know  how 
much better it is when I get the 8 GB put in my laptop.  Note though it would 
also help if you had a laptop with a 7200 speed drive most are not though.  
Mine is only a 5400 but it with my low end hardware it still runs really well.  
It even runs better on my Mac book pro under fusion which is just vmware for 
Mac.  On there I am giving it a full 4 gb because I have 8 gb and at the time 
didn't know it was ok to go ahead and run it at 75 % of the memory available.   
Anyway it runs very good on my machine.  I have found though that most of the 
AMD machines don't run vmware very well so since you have intel you should be 
pretty good.

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.  Thanks.

Hi Storm,

Very cool. What does someone need to take the class? I have Vinux Virtual on my 
machine at home.

Hi,
It looks good. 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. All the classes are logged and 
are located at:
http://classroom.vinuxproject.org/
Thanks
Storm
