Operating Systems SCO SCO 5.0.6 application compatibility w/ Linux? Post 302191412 by fabtagon on Friday 2nd of May 2008 12:42:56 PM

VMware should allow direct access to serial ports. At least I can access my USB devices directly from my VMs. Yes, VMware supplies the system within the VM with a "generic" virtual computer with very common hardware. Your real hardware does not matter (you need drivers for the host OS of course). For batch jobs performance of guest OS should not be much less than host OS, VMware is quite efficient.

I've been using VMware for some systems which aren't too busy and I'm quite satisfied.
