[sllug-members]: VMWare machines on Linux

Hi all,

I am looking into changing my entire system over to Linux, and I may have multiple computers, but I have been using VMWare ESX Server at work and now I'm wondering how well a Windows image might run on Open VMWare Server.  The reason why I don't want to use ESX is because I don't have SCSI and I don't have money to switch over.  So I've got IDE and Pentium III 775, which I know is way low.

My question is: Has anybody had experience running a Windows VM in Linux on an IDE based system?  How well does it run?  Is VMWare a resource hog when it's not their server?

Thanks,

Nathan Lane
