VMWare says that running full-screen is always much faster than windowed...

Loaded 32-bit Ubuntu, and it comes up just fine, at normal speed. I
guess they really meant it when they said "support for 64-bit/2
processors - experimental."
An review I read today sings the virtues of "Parallels Workstation
for Windows and Linux" - this $50 competitor of VMware will run it's
virtual machines FASTER than native! And they support MACs as
hosts... They have a trial -

If they supported 64-bit I would buy it today.
In keeping with our Virtual theme here lately I've completed my final
setup of my laptop.
I've got Ubuntu 6.06 as my host running all my lovely apps. The one
quirk is that 3-D isn't quite right yet. I'm sure it's an issue with
my xorg.conf file; though, it doesn't bug me enought that I'll mess
with it.
I have XP running as a virtual machine. It has a network interface
that is NAT through whichever laptop interface is working. I had
issues with XP not wanting to activate properly. I had to make a
call to MS and even talk to a real live person (read Indian). He
gave me activation numbers and all I had to tell him was this was the
CD that came with the laptop and that I had what looked to be a valid
sticker. Quite the security they have... wonder if the added labor
costs come close to making up the money from pirate versions. I bet
not.
Anyway, I got the Soinicwall VPN client running in my virtual
environment and tested. It works very well.
Woohoo... no more having XP native on my box. This is a good day...
a VERY GOOD DAY!

Ok, even cooler. When I fire up my VPN connections in my Linux host
system (OpenVPN and VPNC) the XP machine can use the VPN tunnels.
This is amazing... just plain amazing. Oh, performance is great as well.
One more quirk found... I can't full-screen the virtual machine; it's
an xorg.conf issue too. Guess I will need to dig into it at some time.
