Frame in Windows emulation

[Michael O'Neill]

I can confirm excellent results running a Windows VM in Ubuntu (6.X)
using the VMWare Server installed through Synaptic.

I can't say if Wine is better or worse than VMWare.  
With a Virtual Machine, you have higher system overhead to run the guest
OS...but a much greater likelihood that everything will work as you are
used to and as expected.  With Wine, you get to work in Linux, have
lower resource overhead, but some things may not work as expected/at
all.

I figured that *for me*, the approach with the least amount of risk was
to use a VM.  (The fact that Virtual Machines are understood by my
colleagues was also a consideration.  Linux is not (yet) a popular OS in
my office.)

Subject: Frame in Windows emulation

I am considering moving from a Windows to a Linux OS and running
Framemaker 
V6 in a Windows emulation. I am amware of 1 person who has successfully
run 
FM 7 under Ubuntu in this manner, and I'd welcome any further
observations 
or comments anyone may have before I commit to this path - eg is Wine 
better or worse than VMWare, are particular flavours of Linux better or 
worse for this sort of thing, etc
thanks
Graeme
