Gentlemen,
I feel really bad bothering a developers list with such basic questions, but. well. you all ARE the most responsive of everyone I've met so far. And, since you seem to hold the key to getting my @$$ of Micrsoshaft, then. well. I guess I'm sorry but I'm not. ;-)
(By the way, if there is every anything I can do to repay you for your assistance and patience, consider it done.)
As much as it pains me to ask, has anyone tried installing VMWare v3.x (either the Linux or Windows version) into Red Hat v8.0? If so, did you get it work? And, if so, then how?
Again, my goal most definitely is to use Wine and Wine alone, however, I can't even consider moving forward unless I can use my environment for ALL of my current tasks (which includes development for M$, unfortunately).
Thanx, either way. And, again, thank you for all of your help.

muahahahaha! didn't you see that was our plan all along? Browse around winehq.org, and the beta pages at http://www.dssd.ca/wine/Wine-0.9-TODO.html. Or, just try to run your favorite programs and debug the problems you encounter. You will find many opportunities for "repayment".

Technically, VMWare for Linux is off topic here. OTOH, it's a useful tool for a wine developer (not to mention a VS/.net developer), so no flames from me. I've used various VMWare's throughout the years, on both Windows and Linux, and the bottom line is that they work. The performance hit is quite noticeable, and the RAM and disk requirements are downright ridiculous, sometimes, but they work. I wouldn't worry about compatibility problems, just resource limitations.
VMWare for Windows under Linux via Wine sounds like a lost cause to me. There are drivers, and super-low-level games and trickery involved, which pretty much rules out the wine option.
RTFMing and Google are sufficient to solve most VMWare problems.
