I guess a netbook is not really suitable for running heavy CPU applications like VMWare

thanks for the reply… still researching, even with more ram it could still be a problem i think with the atom processor. maybe in a few months they’ll bring out a new model! cheers.

@Luke: it works nice but I use it for MINIX 3 which is quite a lightweight operating system. I do not think you should trust your NC10 for running VMWare images of Linux distributions of Windows installations…

hi there, does your NC10 run vmware ok? im considering buying one for development ‘on-the-move’ as it were… and use vmware images a lot.

cheers,

Luke

Well I guess it is. But, for my MINIX assignment the university provided a vmware image. Therefore I needed to have vmware player up and running. Besides I tried to install minix in virtualbox but it did not detect the network card since they emulate another card than vmware.

Isn’t easier to use virtualbox? It is available for (K)ubuntu and its much friendlier, IMHO
