Get Slack!

I think Arch Linux, Slackware and maybe in a slightly different level Gentoo, are some kind of advanced Linux distribution, or better said for intermediate to advanced Linux user. I like to say that those distributions are for Linux lovers, people who is not afraid of the command line. I’m that kind of person, I like to be in control of my Operating System, and one thing I really like about Slackware and Arch Linux is that you need to enable the daemons, this way no matter how many of them you install in your computer it is still running light weight. Of course if you use Fedora or Ubuntu you can disable the daemons, but I prefer to be the one that enable them, and not the other way.

How To Install VMware Server 2 On A Fedora 14 Desktop (Kernel 2.6.35)

How To Install VMware Server 2 On A Fedora 14 Desktop (Kernel
2.6.35)

This tutorial provides step-by-step instructions on how to install
VMware Server 2 on a Fedora 14 desktop system (with kernel 2.6.35). With
VMware Server you can create and run guest operating systems (“virtual
machines”) such as Linux, Windows, FreeBSD, etc. under a host operating
system. This has the benefit that you can run multiple operating systems
on the same hardware which saves a lot of money, and you can move
virtual machines from one VMware Server to the next one (or to a system
that has the VMware Player which is also free).

Five Best Virtual Machine Applications

Most modern computers are powerful enough to run entire operating systems within your main operating systems, which means virtual machines are more commonplace today than ever. Here’s a look at the five most popular virtual machine applications. Virtual machines allow you to run one operating system emulated within another operating system. Your primary OS can be Windows 7 64-bit, for example, but with enough memory and processing power, you can run Ubuntu and OS X side-by-side within it. Earlier this week we asked you to share your favorite virtual machine application, and now we’re back to highlight the five most popular picks.

It puts the cloud front and center, eschewing the familiar desktop paradigm and native applications in favor of a browser-only environment. It’s an audacious and intriguing experiment, but it’s not clear yet if it will resonate with a mainstream audience.
