hi all i need actually to use math software like matlab and maple whose linux version are not available to me now i am considering in purchasing VMware to solve the problem and use those applications within it... without frequently rebooting into XP which is very boring... is there anyone who has already did it and what has been his/her experience? thank you all! -- roberto OS: GNU/Linux, debian sarge kernel: 2.6.8-2-386 KDE: 3.3
