@jawsykilla Yes I have Linux as my host, and Windows XP, Windows 7, BSD, and a hacked copy of Mac OS as my virtual machines ...

[jawsykilla]

@maw88ify Do you mean running VMWare on a Linux Distro as the host OS or running a linux distro inside of VMWare?

[maw88ify]

@jawsykilla sadly ever time I run vmWare in Linux it grays out my screen ... and Files don't seem to be dragging and dropping correctly, some times it works other times it doesn't...

@maw88ify Well when running them both in windows and running Linux based OSs as virtual machines as I am doing in this video. For me atleast VMWare is more reliable. This could be due to CPU architecture though. Using 64bit with virtual box is a nightmare on my machine anyways so thats why i use VMWare. Also virtualbox kept crappin' out me and freezes with Win 7 64 as the host OS. My suggestion is try VirtualBox. If it works well then no need for VMWare. Cheers,
