I just successfully running LiveAndroid (v0.3) on my Ubuntu Jaunty (9.04) using VMware Workstation 6.5.3. The experiment so far working well, I got crash when playing the car racing game, though :p But, I like it very much! Can't wait to build it (which I already did several times and failed) for my Asus EEE minipc 701. Here are some screenshots I've taken:

Recently, I was trying to install VMware Server 2 on my Ubuntu Server 9.04 (Jaunty) which using GNOME. The Installation is quite easy, I don't find any problem in each steps. The only problem is I can't create any virtual machine till now (apparently, I need to restarting VMware services to get this VMware Server to work) :p You can try this steps to, at least, gain successful installation:

1. Download your VMware Server installation files from here
You have to create an account if you haven't got one, then you'll have the registration number (for free!) from there :) I suggest you download the tar.gz package for installation on Linux.

2. Preparing your OS environment
a. necessary packages:
#sudo aptitude install linux-headers-`uname -r` build-essential xinetd

b. unpack and install, go to directory where you save the downloaded file
#tar xvfz VMware-server-*.tar.gz
#cd vmware-server-distrib
#sudo ./vmware-install.pl

You can always accept each questions on installation in progress, with default answer they provide or change it with your own preferences.

Enter your 20 digits registration number (you get it from the link in your email after registration), and you're done!

3. Delete installation files and folders
#rm -f VMware-server*
#rm -fr vmware-server-distrib/

4. Password for root
#sudo passwd root

5. Accessing your VMware Server installation
Open your browser, then enter this on address bar:
http://localhost:8222 (http access) or
https://localhost:8333 (https access)

Then login using your root and password



The interface is similar like VMware Workstation (if you ever use it), so I guess it's not a big deal to use the feature on it.


Well, that's it, enjoy.. and I hope you can use it for greater good :)

I am a long user of Windows OS (at home) and various distro of Linux (at office). While looking for a notebook as a mobile device, I found out that my wife's PowerBook G4 quite interesting. Powered with Leopard Mac OS X 10.5.8, I realize that this device has a gorgeous look (very very intuitive UI) and powerful inside (I talk about the kernel, which is BSD-based kernel). Anyone who is familiar with Linux, will fastly adapt to work using the Terminal. The CLI included is almost as complete as the linux's tools I'm using at office. And if that's not enough, I can add and customize yourself using MacPorts. Equipped with this Terminal, I can do my works as an engineer flawlessly. And I have the benefit of using the beautiful and simple UI when I want to use it to develop a website.

The only drawback I found, this PowerBook G4 is not using Intel Processor (yet!). This is, only a little, bothering me when I want to run .exe (32bit windows application) files. But, I can live with that (at least for now) :D

I'll back to you, with reviews of any mac apps that I've been using. Stay put! :)
