Re: [orca-list] installing linux on the mac

[Simon Eigeldinger <simon eigeldinger vol at>]

hi,

i also figured out that on my win xp system virtualbox worked better 
than vmware player.
vmware player seems to dump the virtual ram into a file which virtualbox 
seems not to do. or something. it seems not to kick my hd not that hard 
which is quite nice.
also i have the feeling that the OS works more stable there.

greetings,
simon
