Hi all
In school we once used VM ware (well once.....) to do linux. The stupid school used P3 450's with 256MB RAM and a win2k and a ATI Rage to do this so the performance was HORRIBLE.
Now I'm experimenting with multiple OS's a bit but I don't want to do multiple boots since I already have a Tri boot and I don't want to give up even more HDD space + I can't install another windows on the rig because of the 10 000K or something cluster threshold. now I'm looking into VM ware again because soon i'll have me a Dual Xeon rig capable of doing VM ware with ease. Now I searched the VM ware site and at a first look It doesn't appear to have like a free personal download for students nor a student lisence option. So I'm wondering, is there a VM ware replacement that is STABLE!!!!! and economical on the system resources (meaning it doesn't exagurate on the usage and uses only as much as needed) (with systemresources I mostly mean RAM)?
and preferably one with a free download/student lisence that I can use.
IF anyone would be so kind to let me know :)
THank you
