Hi,
I have tried running windows xp development virtual machine under windows 7 and the performance was dreadful.
I'm considering installing Linux and running the virtual machine from the Linux, but I'm not sure whether I can expect any performance gains?
It's a 2.4ghz core 2 duo machine with 4gb ram and 5400 rpm hdd.
Can somebody please recommend very cut down version of linux that can run VMWare player and isn't resource hungry?
Thank you
