firemaker103 Member Posts: 643 From: Registered: 07-13-2005	I finally got Ubuntu running on VMware. I even gathered this little tutorial to show some of you windows people how to do it. Ubuntu on VMware! Now, on to learning how to get Firefox 1.5.0.1 working... ------------------ "Be nice to the nerds because later on, you'll be working for them" - Bill Gates

I'm not good at explaining things. ------------------ "Be nice to the nerds because later on, you'll be working for them" - Bill Gates [This message has been edited by firemaker103 (edited April 05, 2006).]

OSes: Linux BSD OS X Solaris Novell's OS (Don't remember the name) Vmware and other emulators emulate an entire computer fromt the ground up. Even the BIOS! So it's like running another computer (even Hardware) on your running somputer.

Emulators are often used in situations where there is no CD-ROM present, as in the case of some laptops, or to test an image of a CD-ROM created by CD burning software such as Nero or Roxio EZ-CD Creator. autorun.moonvalley.com/glossary.htm # A device built to work exactly like another device, either hardware, software, or a combination of both. www.angelfire.com/ny3/diGi8tech/EGlossary.html[/QUOTE] ------------------ All Your Base Are Belong To Us!!! chown -r us ./base "After three days without programming, life becomes meaningless.'' -- Tao of Programming Book 2

Although I've heard from several people that (k)qemu is faster for them. My issue with VMWare is that it kept loosing the module config.... every time I rebooted! ------------------ All Your Base Are Belong To Us!!! chown -r us ./base "After three days without programming, life becomes meaningless.'' -- Tao of Programming Book 2

firemaker103 Member Posts: 643 From: Registered: 07-13-2005	It's ubuntu with just firefox 1.07 and Firefox 1.5.0.1 installed. They say it's special because you can browse the web safely. It's firefox, on linux, on a virtual machine. How much safer can you get?

firemaker103 Member Posts: 643 From: Registered: 07-13-2005	Well, I just uninstalled Ubuntu( Hah, uninstalling an OS with a click of a mouse. ) and installed a Kubuntu virtual machine instead, which I find much better. (Yes, I know I could have just installed KDE within Ubuntu) ------------------ "Be nice to the nerds because later on, you'll be working for them" - Bill Gates
