the only problem with running a vmware version (also google virtualbox) of ubuntu, I haven't been able to get beryl to work which is a great little "skinning" program for the os. It can make your ubuntu or kubuntu look like xp, vista, mac or many other ideas.. but if you don't care what your os looks like and are just using it for the applications then it don't matter and virtual os is just as good.

labrax, i havent install fc6 because my processor isn't supported... go figure. did you notice any benefits from core 5.... i heard they got rid of the core for 7 and now just call it "7"

Mr. Hunters

Actually had not used it - was on earlier versions FC3 & FC4 and did not use it a whole heck of a lot to be honest - just played with it. Now I have to begin using RHEL 4 & 5, so figured that I should load up Ubuntu and FC6 along with RHEL 4 & 5. I have a long way to go, but I have been playing around with it more, have taken some courses, and have to do it for my work - so there is no option not to.

I will load up '7' or 'FC7' soon though as the wireless support is supposedly better right off the bat.

Funny thing is I haven't spun up my Vistas yet but I do have Unubtu and Suse10 running on VMWare and Edbuntu running on a separate box I'm donating to a friends Day Care
