I built my Player VM's using Workstation on a 1 month license and have used Player (from the vmware-workstation ebuild in the Pentoo library) for the last year. They work great. I use VirtualBox-OSE to run Microsoft Home Server. That works great also. > I only recently switched to the Player here ... and I was positively > surprised. > I'm on my i980x Gentoo machine and am running 3 VM's at the moment all in Player. It works well. I actually haven't done much with VMWare-Player on the i5-661 mostly because the machine runs Windows most of the time right now. i think if I was going to use prebuild VMs then I'd likely go with VMWare-Player because I have more history with it. If I was going to do new installations then I'd work on VirtualBox. Cheers, Mark > KVM also still in use here, sure. > > Stefan > >
