Loving VMWare

I like Vmware so much that I shrunk my Linux partition, grew may Windows partition, and installed several Linux virtual machines. I created a Suse 10 VM, I downloaded Kanotix VM, and it took several tries but I created a Linspire VM. I also downloaded a Mac OS X VM from somewhere on the internet. Amazingly it works! Accept for the internet connection, I haven't been able to get that going yet. The only other problem that I had with OS X was I had my XP partition formatted FAT 32 and the OS X had a file that was over 6 gig. You need NTFS to handle a file that big, so I used Partition Magic to convert the partition to NTFS.
Of course, the guest OS is a little slow, but it is very usable.
