I have been running VMWare on the Compaq EVO  box my company put on my 
desk. I wiped windows and am running SuSE 9.2 . I installed NT 2000 from
install media. The machine has only 512 M of memory. I had been running
VMWare 4.5 but am now running 5.0. It is much slower on this hardware 
than 4.5 was. Is anyone else running 5.0 ?
