vmware

[Leon Raymer <leon@neondsl.com>]

Hi guys,

I'm doing a little hobby web building and I much prefer working on the
Linux side of my dual-boot machine. I have quickly discovered, however,
that there are major rendering differences between Windows and Linux
browsers.....and even between various versions of the same browser; i.e.
Windows Internet Explorer 5.0, 5.5. and 6.0. It will apparently take a
while for the W3C standards to stick.....and for the older browsers to
disappear. So, I'm looking for an economically feasible method of
switching between Linux and Windows....without having to reboot. I've
come across VMware Workstation during my search forays but know nothing
about it....other than what's on their website. Will have to lay out
some cash for it....but willing to do so if it will lower the
frustration level.

Does anyone have any experience with VMware?

Also, preview information has piqued my interest in Sun's coming Linux
desktop system. Anyone got the scoop? That, of course, will also not be
free....as in beer and speech. I'm currently running RH 8.0 but don't
foresee moving to Fedora.I hope leaving RH will also reduce frustration.

Thanks,
Leon
