Wish I had a box with more RAM, so I could try VMware or Virtualbox. That is something I want to try, but this box only has 512 MB of RAM. Lanny
Download VirtualBox from Sun. Im pretty sure you can run it. On CentOS that is. Just use 254MB for the Host and the gueat. Just split it up. Below is tops output when runing win$ server 2003 while doing domainprep and forestprep for active directory. Processor is a P4 1.7 533MHz Bus UDMA 100 Disks. Although the virtual machine images run on:
Thank you for the information. I will check out Virtual Box from Sun! This box is a Celeron 2.6 GHz. Integrated Intel stuff on the motherboard, which was made for Dell by Foxconn I think. I think it is the only one of our 4 Dell Dimension boxes that had a rather stock ATX motherboard and PSU. The PSU was replaced after New Years Day with one that just plugged right in. No proprietary connectors. :-) I won it in a raffle from Colgate Palmolive, in the superstore where we do most of our shopping. It came with 256 MB of RAM and I bought another 256 MB for it. I think, possibly, it can hold up to 1 GB of RAM. I need to check that out. One of these days I will take the time to try to get audio out of the microphone, with the Skype Beta for Linux. Other people have it working, so I believe it is one or more configuration settings, somewhere, that are incorrect.
