22 Yes, I use vmware-player and VirtualBox-OSE. I built my Player VM's
23 using Workstation on a 1 month license and have used Player (from the
24 vmware-workstation ebuild in the Pentoo library) for the last year.
25 They work great.
26
27 I use VirtualBox-OSE to run Microsoft Home Server. That works great also.

34 I'm on my i980x Gentoo machine and am running 3 VM's at the moment all
35 in Player. It works well.
36
37 I actually haven't done much with VMWare-Player on the i5-661 mostly
38 because the machine runs Windows most of the time right now.

41 i think if I was going to use prebuild VMs then I'd likely go with
42 VMWare-Player because I have more history with it. If I was going to
43 do new installations then I'd work on VirtualBox.

45 Cheers,
