Re: VMWare

[Pete Helgren <Pete@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Ah! But the recommendation was that I install Windows 2000/2003 on the 
IPCS so I could get Linux to run.  Good for Bill G, not for me.  And, 
yes, a limitation of the IPCS, not anything in VMWare or any other 
virtualization software.  So yes, I stand corrected. I don't need to buy 
anything to run VMWare or its ilk, unless I want to run on the IPCS 
where it appears only Win2K/2003 are supported. If I could install 
Fedora Core 5 ON the IPCS that would solve it.

So, as a point of clarification, and to make sure I post to the correct 
forum, discussing an IPCS on an iSeries should be posted to PCTECH 
rather than Midrange?  Will do.
