I hope you have SCADS of RAM Rodolfo!!!
VMWare requires beaucoup m.e.m.o.r.y to run decently.
I tried the exact exercise on a seriously high-end laptop with really
significant resources, and I was disappointed with the results.
Not that it didn't "run" oh yes, it ran. I was disappointed with the
performance however.

P3/450, 192MB, 6GB, 13.3" XGA screen? You think it'll be OK? If not, would you feel better with Win4Lin? I wasn't going to try the full VMware, but rather the Express version. Please do share what you've learned... save me a few hours of grief maybe.
