There was also a relatively decent performance tweak within VMWare
between 4.x and 5. I rarely use VMWare on Windows, but use it
fairly often on my Slackware system to host Windows and other linux
distros. I don't use sound, as I shut it off within the
instance. Aside from that, I haven't had any issues. If
you're having problems, make sure you're loading the VM tools within
each instance.<br>

Fedora will run on VMWare, as well as be the host OS for VM instances with very few problems.<br clear="all"><br>-- <br>-Shawn<br><br>-Nemo me impune lacessit. Ne Obliviscaris.. <br>
