Is this possible? Could you create a virtual PC with vmware on a mac with linux?

binaries for i86 linux won't work on ppc.. I don't think vmware has a version for ppc, nor do I think they have source code available, so probably n ot. Even if they did, I think the different architecture would **** it up.

Dunno about VMWare, but it's certainly possible with Virtual PC. VPC can be purchased with a Red hat install; I haven't gotten a fresh install of Red hat to work yet, but I do have Mandrake 7.0 running quite nicely.

(If you're interested in trying a VPC install, let me know; I'm a bob for Connectix.) ;)
