Hello

I'm currently running linux (OpenSUSE) and I'm wondering about something...I want to run Windows (Yes, a legit copy...thing cost me $345...) but I want to virtualize it on my Linux distro. Does anybody know of a good app that will get the job done for me?

Thanks...

Before you drop even more cash on VMware have a look at XenSource, an open source alternative. It's probably nowhere near as robust as VMware, but it might do what you require.

Also try OpenVZ.

Don't go with Virtual PC 2007. I can't even install Ubuntu under that POS software. VMWare works great for me, even though I'd like a lighter weight alternative.

VMware Server is free, same thing as VMware Workstation really.
