    Anyone uses VMPlayer?

    Trying to get networking working in a virtual Linux OS (Mono SuSe image in case you interested), anyone had problems in this area?

              It's not the looks - the applications like one to setup networking looks incredibly primitive from design point of view as if it was programmed by a Chico or maybe even AndyW.

              Linux is a good OS if you know exactly what to do via SSH.

                Then that is a SUSE specific app, guys like SUSE and UBUNTU seem to do that a lot.

                If you want control then Gentoo is the way to go, otherwise you have to line up with the other lemmings and be spoon fed, before jumping off the cliff to end up in Gatesville.

                  It's a myth that lemmings do it - fabricated by Disney who killed innocent creatures in order to film supposed voluntary jumping off.
