VMPlayer

[Ben Duncan]

Yes, have been running VMPLAYER now for about 2 years.
Had to jump thru hoops to get it to work then, but the
newest ones install on ever distro I have used without
any hitches (Lonnie is your staff giving them pointers ;-> ).

Anyway. FWIW I JUST got SCO OpenServer 5.0.7 installed on my
Slack 12.5 using VMWARE and it works great (Vmware that is).

SO one one machine I have SCO and WinXP all running.

Next up is experimenting with VMWARE Server ..
