  • Sigh

    Posted on April 20th, 2006 jasonadamyoung 2 comments

    I rarely, if ever, print. But I just printed the 436 page VMWare Administrator’s manual (double-sided).

    And all the fixed-width fonts are screwed up.

    For example, where the document has:

    machine.id = “RedHat62VM 148.30.16.24"

    it comes out:

    !!!!!!"!!!&!&!'"!!!!!!!!&!!!!!!!!!!!!!&

    Sigh. This is my karma for printing something.

    • you should look into xen insted….unless you need vm’s of m$’s

    • well, at the time that I was starting this process late last year. Xen required too much work. The documentation was too unclear about what needed to happen for guests. There was a fair amount of kernel chicanery to deal with. And the management tools didn’t exist. And I got bupkus trying to ask simple questions about it on the xen mailing lists.

      So, maybe by the time that SUSE and Red Hat really start including it later this year and next, Xen will be there – but until then, we need to do something and had the funding to do it.
