How to make your operating system into a vmware image.

 When I was converting over to linux I was not sure that I would get everything from my windows operating system. Instead of just deleting it I thought it would be better to make it in to a VMware image so if I needed a windows operating system then I could use it in VMWare player in Debian.

Ireland is promised to be a technology knowledge economy to compete on the global market. The only problem now during the recession is everyone is keeping the money for themselves. Only a few people are willing to take the risk during this period to reap the big rewards if the start up suceeds.

It will help startup companies find investor that will invest in their company and help them make a success of it. It is like the program Dragon's Den but if you can not get on that show then this is the organisation for you.

Converting to Linux: Debian Lenny 5

Submitted by martin on Tue, 08/09/2009 - 20:24

 I finally decided today to fully convert everything I do on my personnel computer to Linux. I always wanted to be an expert at the Linux operating system. I always messed around with linux through vmware workstation because there is so many distros it is easier than vmware player for management. I have used Linux as a webserver and file server which I have conquered now. I am now want to be an expert at the desktop side of Linux. Every thing is not as simple using linux but if it is not hard then it is not worth doing.
