Camarade_Tux Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 Thanks a lot. I've been waiting for PAE support for a long time (freebsd7 uses pae by default ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maleko Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 i personally prefer Virtual PC, a lot more straight forward and quicker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Innocent Devil Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 VPC doesnt offer flexibilty on hadware configuration i love BIOS free config of virtualbox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoffeeFiend Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 I despise VPC. Yuck!But, VMWare might be taking a bad turn. I tried VMWare Server 2 (beta 2), and seemingly they expect us to use a crappy web interface (VPC-style) for everything Or, you can buy some VI client licenses to manage it perhaps ($$$) -- then one might as well just buy ESXi 3.5 instead. Looks like I'll be staying with 1.0.6!Oh, and BTW, for those who are into PowerShell too (and VMWare), check out the VI Toolkit, it's great!

S.SubZero Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 i personally prefer Virtual PC, a lot more straight forward and quickerI've never seen VPC do anything remotely "quick". ---Virtualbox updated to 1.6.2 - they fixed some stuff and got new icons that are actually nice looking.

determin2excel Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 Virtual box is definitely the best. Virtual PC 2007 could not install openSUSE 11. In Virtual Box it runs great. The only flaw I have found so far is that the "virtual" video card does not accept 24bit but that's minor because the view is fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReDucTor Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 The only bug i've found is having a proxy which requires auth, that appears to be crashing virtual box if i dont close the manager window quick enough. (still present in recent versions), hence i cant do that rego thing on first startup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
