Short answer: Yes As a practical matter, install the virtualization package groups (KVM and its accompanying tools). We can split hairs about if it is faster than VMware workstation, but pragmatically speaking, it will definitely pass the "good enough" test. VMware Workstation on Fedora has its own quirks, but is definitely more mature than KVM, and it also is easier to migrate VMs to other VMware environments using it. That said, KVM definitely rocks in its own right. Hope that helps... Cheers, Chris -- ================================== By all means marry; If you get a good wife, you'll be happy.
