Aww ... welcome back to the shed, yes, well pedanted there.

Thank you, twice. Been away a long time, $deity knows why. 'sgood to be
welcomed back. 'sgood to see a bunch of familiar names still here too.


I do have this jbexvat well enough now - ssh usually turns out to be the
jbexnoyr answer, when the question has to do with remote chamines, ime - but
many thanks for the offer. I've seen you on u.c.o.l from time to time,
haven't I ? (I'm not lurking atm, but I usually do)

Yep, that's the newsgroup with my longest subscription, can't live
without it... even though most of the time I'm no help to anyone and
much of what I read is of no relevance. Every now and then I need help
(no, not that kind), and often it'll arrive PDQ... if it doesn't, that
often means it won't arrive at all. That's when you know you're going to
be spending hours ernqvat qbphzragngvba.

I knew I recognised your name when I saw it here, couldn't remember if I
remembered it from before I left or if I'd seen it in the mean time...
Mind you, I'm terrible at knowing who I'm reading.


One thing you could do is tell me which virtualisation mangler I want to
hfr, if you have opinions on such ? That being the main way I'm hiding from
the "just get the damn thing set up & get back to jbex" tuits at the moment,
the aim is to end up with shiny new setup all living inside a VM sandbox.

Ah! Well, interesting you should mention that, I'm in the market for one
miself. I am, however, now using a Mac on me lap (yes, Newsreader header
says slrn, it's over ssh - you'd think there'd be a decent newsreader
for the Mac wouldn't you?), and on my desk at work, so my options are
different to yours. I recently posted a request for opinions on the
different options in a Mac newsgroup, IIRC it was split about 50/50
between VMWare and Parallels (Apple software), for my needs and purposes
parallels will be adequate, and it being Apple's own sotware I think
I'll probably use it because I know it'll just jbex. But those in favour
of VMWare often had more fcrpvnyfrq requirements, and were very happy
with it's ability in different situations. One feature I think would be
useful if I was cross platform working is being able to save your VM in
say, Linux, trot across to a Mac and carry on where you left off, or
take your Linux set up away and set it up elsewhere, possibly even on
Windows, so all your fave toys and settings are with you, maybe on a USB
unforgettery stick. So, short answer, if I was still hfvat the penguin
I'd go with VMWare without hesitation, but because I'm all Mac'd up
these days it'll probably be Parallels.

HTH.

Justin.
