VM
SVS, VMWare, and Portable Apps
Submitted by Kevin Kleinfelter on Thu, 2007-05-03 20:06.SVS www.altiris.com
- Some zero-install apps at http://www.svsdownloads.com/
- Can install an app on one machine and run it on another. If the app requires activation based on your hardware, you'll have to activate it on multiple machines.
VMWare (and other VMs)
- Can run apps installed to an image.
- Slow, and really needs more than 1GB RAM and faster than a 1.8GHz mobile Pentium on the PC. Ubuntu is slow, Kubuntu is slow. I still want to try XUbuntu and running Ubuntu non-GUI with a Cygwin X-server.
