That looks interesting, however I have not yet had the opportunity to learn how exactly to set up a VM to run the things I most wish to. Not exactly the best HowTo documentation available for VM setups even to this day. :(
One of these days I plan on getting up to speed in the VM department since it looks so interesting, but for now I am relegated to switching between machines for the various flavours of Operating Systems I need to perform various tasks.
I look forward to running many older programs again once I have the capability, and I can think of a few programs used (and written, back on floppy disk) that I would love to play with once again.
Cheers!
Well, it's not complicated, really. And worth the small investment in time to learn.
On my Macs I use VMware Fusion. It's about $80 new. On my Linux and Windows boxes I use VMware Workstation Player, that's free for personal use.
The VMware guest VMs are portable between the above three operating system platforms, which is very handy.
On Linux I also use Xen as the host VM system. That's simpler and more Linux-like (command-line operation).
