sorry, if I pissed anyone off, that was not my intention, and I do Appreciate your help.

You think VMWare is my best bet, OK, I'll go research that option

lu666s:
If you run into trouble installing vmware, you can bug me, but read all the docs first, you may be fine doing just that.  ;)

voidmain:
Yeah, VMware is a little slow with updating their system to run with the newer kernels in the latest distro releases, luckily a little patience with the vmware-config.pl install script it will recompile the vmware kernel modules for you. It was slightly tricky getting it to run on RH7.2 but worth the effort. I've found that it is not quite as stable as the 2.x release but it has more features (like USB support so you can run all your USB devices in your Win* session). The stability thing could be because of my customized kernel though. Have you had any problems with it?

lu666s:
No, but then I run it on 2.4.8.26mdk kernel. Haven't encountered many glitches, but then I do not use w2k very often. Had some PS stuff which was pretty resource hungry and all was fine. I have 256mb and 1ghz athlon on that workstation.

Of course, all the possible candys like animated menus and so forth were turned off, with that on there was a degree of mouse jerkiness and temporary lockups.

voidmain:
Yeah, I've got 512MB and an Athalon 1600.  I can throw about anything at it and you would think it was the only OS running. VMware is very cool.
