Re: [gentoo-dev] Gentoo on VMWare - few ideas

[tuxp3@leetworks.com]

Well, for some time now, whenever I'm in windows I usually have VMWare
running my Gentoo install, but the GUI never works.. but the only thing I
need is deamon server processes (apache/samba) and I'm happy. Would like
to have more info on getting X to work, but meh.

(note, this is running a REAL gentoo inside of vmware. The only thing I
forget to do sometimes is shutdown the Gentoo VM before shutting down
windows.)
