Ah, a dangling conversation! Did which part work? .....the USB driver, Ubuntu
under VPC 2007 beta, or the network?

The driver? Unknown - not tested yet.
Ubuntu? Yes. With a lot of modification. *sigh* Even sound works.
The network? Yes and no... *sighs* It sees the network, I can even get stuff
off the network.

I suppose it defeats the purpose but eventually I kicked it in the whosits
and made it let me login as root so that I could edit the configuration
files. Now I remember why I switched to Windows.

Well, let us/me know if it does work, its been repeatedly recommended (the
driver) with some stating success and others never responding. Just curious
really; another, "well it works for this one" for the records.
For Glee: did you make a list of sucesses or is it just generally
sucessful/usable? Again, just curious.

| Ubuntu? Yes. With a lot of modification. *sigh* Even sound works.

That's one I haven't tried yet (Ubunta), I have noticed several people
stating they like it on here,, thought I might play around with it in the
future, though wasn't there some problems with the debian package database
on which it was based?

So VPC 2007 is stable or "just stable enough"? Your the first I noticed
that mentioned using it.

Well, what you do in Windows is somewhat the same in others, just a lot
more gui it seems. But then if your Ubuntuing AND VPCing, your well versed
with that (or will be by the time your done <grin>).

Let's see.....I've installed the "native usb driver" for 98SE on four of my own
systems and two at work. The two at work are nearly identical Dells, so that might
only count as one. The home systems are one old Dell and the rest are generic. It
works for me using a Memorex 1GB Traveldrive (Memorex has a 98SE driver for
download, but I have never gotten it to install correctly, let alone work, and there
is much online about others with the same issue). It also works on all those
systems with a Creative Muvo TX 128MB mp3 player which doubles as a memory stick.
(The Muvo driver works great, but I uninstalled it to test the "native" driver).

The driver also works on these systems and a couple of others owned by a friend,
with a PNY 1GB memory stick. I have another 1GB memory stick whose innards are made
by ChipsBnk, and it works with the driver on all the systems I mentioned. I have
installed the driver on maybe half a dozen other client's systems so I can bring
cleaning tools with me on a memory stick, and it has worked on all those systems so
far, with the Memorex and the ChipsBnk sticks.

That's the extent of my personal use with the driver. There are a number of
'success stories" online, as you have discovered.

I've had no issues with it, the sound is a nice feature but 16 bit sound is
pretty lousy. Oddly Ubuntu has decided all of my media files aren't media
files and thus will not play them. It works fine when it is booted to an
install partition. I own a web hosting company so (yes we offer mostly Linux
hosting options) I do a lot of testing. In all honesty I wouldn't go back to
using *NIX/NUX on a regular basis for regular computing if you paid me. I
can't stand it. I want it to work, I want it to work well, and I don't want
to have to configure it for hours on end just to get a program to function
properly.

But I digress and this is way off topic. Such is my nature I suppose...

With the topic to hand, the original, I'd not have to worry about testing
the driver though if you really would like I will. 'Tis a non-issue. Glen
recommended it, that means it works. If it doesn't then I'm missing
something and I'll make it work. *grins* It gives me another reason to play
around in VPC2k7... (My reply email address works well enough if you want to
take it off-list. I'm not scared, I use a real reply-to address. Err...
Either that or I'm retarded. I get a lot of SPAM filters eat the vast
majority though.)

VPC 2007 is nice. The 2004 version is nice too though there are a bunch of
options in 2007 that I really like - the most important being sound. It
seems really light though I have noticed some nasty spells where it eats the
compute cycles something fierce when it tries to access an optical drive,
HDD - mounted, and even during the initial networking. They layout is slick
and simple and the wizards guide you through the majority of the setups. I'm
not sure if I'm willing to give up on VMware completely at this point but
for home-use I'd certainly recommend it. With the price as it is, well, I'd
be silly to not recommend it even with the CPU cycling but I'd like to see
that go the way of the dinosaur prior to the final release.
