What there is not to like about VMWare player?
I have heard several times people saying, yes, I use it to get several servers up in my only machine… and I thought SFW? Until yesterday, when I needed a second linux server and VMWare player and Ubuntu 7.10 JeOS v1.01 with VMware drivers (94MB) came to the rescue! Since I only need command line, the memory load is 9MB! Even the old laptops at home can handle that, and the best part… eth0 is bridged and it’s MAC is configurable…
edit the MAC forever: sudo gedit etc/network/interfaces
add hwaddress ether aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff after iface eth0 inet dhcp
restart the *network card* with: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
I won’t say more… I am extremely happy. I think I found a second use for the 14.1″ digital frame…
One hack a day keeps your brain sharp!
Cheers
Carlos
