VMware Workstation

VMware Workstation is unique among the three Windows compatibility solutions discussed in this chapter in that it provides the tools necessary to run applications from a whole variety of operating systems in Fedora Core 4, including

  • Microsoft Windows (all versions)

  • Microsoft MS-DOS

  • Other Unix systems

  • Novell NetWare

  • Various other PC-compatible operating systems

Although the interface isn't as intuitive or clean as the CrossOver Office interface, VMware provides a much more powerful solution for developers and system administrators who need extensive compatibility with a variety of applications, or who need to run several virtual computers inside a single real computer.
