[jcer93705]

Hello everyone. I am not dual booting this computer i'm only using sabayon linux, latiest one. I
would like to know which Virtual mechine is the best and that is ofcourse free. Also I am a
noob and I need step by step instruction to get it working and in the same time I want to
learn. I just formated my harddrive last week I think and I like how my computer is now
with sabayon. Games are great, just having problem with few like quake 3. Anyway's can
anybody help me? Thank you all

The one that works best for you is the best one.

VirtualBox and VMWare Server are both free and the both have howtos over at gentoo wiki. I use vmware server personally, but millions use virtualbox. Try em both and see which one u like.

Hello, wolfden.

I use vmware server personally, but millions use virtualbox.

Which version of VMware Server do you use?

Installed using portage?

Thanks,
Gabriel

of course installed via portage and you can even add the vmware overlay and install it - follow the wiki

Well, I have been using vmware server too, but sabayon 3.4 has virtualbox installed, so I didn't bother unmerging it to install vmware server. It works fine, I haven't had any problems with it.
