Just an update on Ubuntu 8.10 running under VMWare Server with Vista Home Premium as host......
Sound now works. I can play some video and audio files. Internet works fine (via WiFi G). Videos run smoothly. I'd say it's functional enough for my needs.
Linux is still a "gee whiz" OS for me. But, the potential is still big enough for me to be fascinated by it.I'd be stupid to ignore Linux.
