I've successfully used "bochs" and "vmware" in the past. They are both in the ports >> Stay informed about: Looking for windows emulator

You have to find a copy on the net somewhere. Also, VMware 3.x is only suppored under FBSD 5.x. Amazon claims to have upgrade licenses, but that leaves you needing a license for VMware 2.x. Oh, and be careful, you need the _workstation_ license, which is, natually, more expensive. Bruce -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ "I like bad!"

>What is the best windows emulator for FreeBSD, I'm looking for one looks >like a windows station. Why would you want such a thing ? If you need something that looks identical to windows and runs all native windows apps, why not use windows to start with ? About the closest I could think of to accomplishing both these, is running X (with KDE as a window manager), and wine (emulator for windows apps) Regards, Chris >> Stay informed about: Looking for windows emulator
