Better than VMware – freeware virtualization solution for application development
Having hard time trying VMware and setting up testing server for application development, I came across unbelievable opensource not-a-toy solution – Cooperative Linux. CoLinux is working free and open source method for optimally (means fast) running Linux on Windows natively. It allows run Linux on Windows 2000/XP in a way which is much more optimal than using any general purpose PC virtualization software, without using a commercial PC virtualization software such as VMware. It is fast enough that I’m able to use Linux desktop applications alongside Windows seamlessly.
