[Fwd: [ale] VMware and RH5.2]

[Clay Lawrence]

I'm running it with Suse 6.0/2.2.0 as host and Win95 as a guest on a
dual
PII-400 w/500Mb of ram. I alloted 128mb of ram for the guest. It seems
to work okay although my Logitech Marble drives it a little nuts. I've
also notice that running it in a terminal is really slow for my hardware
but running it full screen approachs native performance for windoze.
This is fine for me since I only need to open windoze for one app on a
rare occasion. I'll buy it when it comes out but I think I'll stick with
SuSE for the bulk of my processing.
