VMware is the way to go if possible. Version 6 works great.

Is there much advantage upgrading from VMWare Workstation version 5.5 to version 6?

Judge by yourself

I don't think so, but depends of your needs. I'm using vmware since its version 3; today I'm using 5.5 but for my needs even version 3 was fine.

Ooh.. nice. I may try this sometmie! Though I do like Compiz Fusion alot and I doubt it would work this way.

You're right. It won't work -- at least not on my setup. I'm not sure it work would with any form of X-forwarding unless Compiz Fusion was running on the client system as the forwarded windows are displayed by the client's X-server.

10) Use plink.exe from the command line (or run box) to connect to your running VM:

C:\Program Files\PuTTY\plink.exe -ssh -X -C -pw badpass [email protected] kicker

Why bother with SSH encryption when you're running the X server on the same machine as the VMware guest, though? Why not just connect directly?

VMWare6 sounds like a lot of possibilities for "getting out of the box", if it hasn't been very carefully coded... but sounds interesting as well.

Something that looks very interesting is parallels coherence...
