RE: VMWare 3.0 beta report for Linux-IL readers



Can you keep the old VMware installation beside the new one?

Hi people,

Since yours trully still doesn't have a job, so I'm playing a bit with some 
hardware I got here and with some new Linux apps - so if you want - here are

2 good news:

VMWare 3.0 beta is out (and can be obtained from the VMWare web site)..

I have installed Windows XP as a guest on my machine (AMD 800Mhz, 320MB RAM,

Matrox G400, XFree 4.0.3, kernel 2.4.8-ac2)..

Does it worth the upgrade? yes. BUT - I've seen some upgrade problems moving

from VMWare 2.0 to 3.0 - so the best option will be to backup your virtual 
hard disk and upgrade, or install your guest OS from scratch (I tried the 
upgrade on Windows ME - and once I enabled the USB - it recognized tons of 
new hardware - and crashed my WinME guest)..

So - whats new? lets see..
