Reasons include: - -1. Vmware is not [free software](http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html), which is against our philosophy. -2. Obtaining a licensed copy to debug it costs (at least) $300. (However, the player is "free" as in beer. This doesn't lessen the other concerns, however). -3. Vmware's sources and specification are not publicly available, which makes debugging tasks really painful. -4. GNU is not in [Vmware's official supported operating systems page](http://www.vmware.com/support/ws3/doc/ws32_guestos2.html#1034043). - -We recommend to use [free](http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html) alternatives, like the [[BochsEmulator]]. Also check QEMU: [[HurdOnQEMU]]. - --- [[Main/RobertMillan]] - 23 Jul 2002 - -I have been able to install Debian/Hurd K2 on [[VmWare]] ... - -* [[VmWare]] 3.02 complains a lot about a missing **console** and shows a lot of errors - * They can be solved by manually creating the devices -* I have tried **Bochs 2.0**, Debian/Hurd K2 installs with no problems at all. -* [[VmWare]] 4.0.0 works fine ... just follow the Hurd install instructions.-- [[TWiki/AndreaSterbini]] - 22 Apr 2003 -* Here using "free" (as in beer) vmware-player 1.0.2.29634 on Gentoo. Hurd K14 installs and runs smoothly, but seems to hang on shutdown. -- [[Main/DeviceRandom]] - 20 Jan 2007 |
