I am thinking installing VMware as an alternative for my wine.. I have crashes lately on my wine when I try to use my MS office..

so anyone tried using VMware on you ubuntu system?

Bro. use VirtualBox to emulate your Window$ OS. It's faster than VMware and installs/runs easy on Lucid. It can accept vmdk format virtual hdd's. Maybe naa kay mounting problem ana pero sayun ra na, I change lang kung unsa device name.

Do you need the CD if maginstall ka'g OS sa VMware/VirtualBox? Dli pde .iso (image) lang then i.mount sa VMware/VirtualBox? Kay kasuway ko sa Parallels, ako ra gi.mount then pag.gamit nako ug VirtualBox, dli nya mabasa.
