t and if one CPU will run at 2.8GHZ and the other at 2.6
GHz.
Just curious....
DeejI agree wholeheartedly with Chuck. VMWare is probably the best option in terms
of features and quality, it works with damn near anything. If they made a
.deb for it that worked I'd probably buy it for my linux box. Virtual box
is also very good, though it's only truly open source if you build it from
source, the binaries are under a different license. In practice this means
absolutely nothing. Of course I haven't tried the MSoft option as I'm avoiding
their software whenever possible.
Ubuntu Feisty installs easily into both Virtual Box and VMWare, as does Debian
Etch. I haven't tried a Debian testing or unstable netinstall but my guess
is they'd work fine. SuSE as well, but at this point for me running SuSE
is practically as offensive as running XP.
Good luck, and if you have any questions related to Debian (if you go that
route) or (to a lesser extent) Ubuntu feel free to post here or email me
off list.
