I just got 2.0 running on my RH Linux 6.2 box, I run NT Workstation
in the virtual machine.
Setup is slick, and everything works. I can access my SCSI CDROM
in the VMWare machine (/dev/cdrom ---> virtual IDE CD). Heck, "autorun"
works in NT. SOUND even works.
Don't map to /dev/lp0 for local printing, its extremely resource hungry,
and brought the box to its knees. Just run lpd on the linux side,
and point your Micros~1 OS at it.
VMWare has a virtual "AMD-PC32" ethernet card that works fine. It also
comes with some tools that give you SVGA in the virtual machine, and
helps with auto-focus on the mouse pointer.
I think you have to run it in X.
To give you an idea of how well it works - I have a friend who was
running
Apache on Linux, and IIS4.0 on a virtual NTServer and doing webhosting.
Running Win98 on a VMWare machine on Linux, he can run PCAnywhere, and
take
over the "virtual" NT Server on the other linux box.
Very cool. :-)
If you need local HD access, run Samba locally. It can be installed
into an arbitrary size disk image file in Linux, so no need to
partition.
AND, the file only grows big enough to hold your files.
Like I said, very cool. :-)
