Re: Triple booting with XP x64, Fedora x64, and Ubuntu x64.

Hey Matt,

No, you cannot really what you intend to with VMware. You need to run either ESXi Server as your host OS, and virtualize VIH nodes with that, or if your Host OS is Lnux, or Windows, you can install the respective VMserver for it, and create virtual instances or a guest OS with that . 

Within VMware though, you can take snapshot of your nodes easily, and move them, shutdown, allocate resources on demand, etc .

Can I install Vista from a backed up install into vmware or do I need 
actual install disks?

I just got home and have a new laptop (Refurb Gateway P6831FX 17" 
screen, 3G) that I need to back up since I didn't get install disks with it.

I would normally not even worry about it, but I may need to run Autocad 
and some others windows programs on it.  Also I can not find a way to 
our HP plotters via linux (topic for another thread).
So I want to have windows on it, but would love to have my linux for 
most things.

Thanks,

Matt Wehland
