The only thing to realise is that VMware create a generic hardware layer and your virtual machine CANNOT see the real devices. Do not try to install Accelerated grafic drivers under VMware as the program provides a SVGA driver WHICH do not support accelarated graphics. Therefore, sorry NO fast games under VMware. I play under linux thats why it isn't a problem

That sucks, though. One of Windows' greatest strengths is all the latest games. If you take that away, you might as well chuck it. Well, I guess Office is also important. What do you use it for?

Cheers.

Thanks for the info

I really want to give linux a chance and I want it to be the base OS on my machine (because of its strong stability and real multitasking capabilities) but imagining being without windows is a little scary,lol....thats what VMWare is for

I reformatted my drive recently so I haven't booted in linux for awhile (and even then I didnt really boot into it that much--Im fairly new to linux and its sometimes a little intimidating,lol) but i'm going to install Redhat 8 again and I want to use KDE 3.1...do you know how to install KDE 3.1 under Redhat 8? I've been looking around and I guess Redhat doesnt have an official RPM for it. What's the best way to do this?

I'm going to start another thread on this topic also.

Thanks in advance
