I have OpenSUSE 11 installed as a guest OS under Virtual PC, so I no longer
have to reboot my machine to answer a boss' question about something funky
some Linux box is doing, or use ssh to tunnel a graphical interface from a
server, or something like that. Niiice.
Does "quad core" mean four complete ALUs? Or does it mean four register sets
hyperthreading? What do they call it if it's hyperthreading?

Way to go.

It means four cores, ie. four units that really calculate things
simultaneously inside one CPU.

So, you exchanged some weight of running an X app over the network by a lot of
weight for running 2 OSes on a single machine instead of a lightweight plain
text ssh session? Not niiiice... :P

I have a quad-core machine with 6 gig of RAM here. :-) I'd still be running
an X app over the network - I just wouldn't have to install an X server on
Windows. I install Linux on Windows, and the X server on Linux. ;-)

Uh... why not just use a Windows SSH client?

Because ssh is a transport, and X is a graphics subsystem? Kind of the same
reason I use pov-ray to draw pictures instead of VI.
Let me rephrase, since I seem to have confused people. Now I can remotely
log in to a server via SSH and run GUI programs on that server without
having to stop what I'm doing in Windows. (Or install an X server on Windows.)

I use VNC for this very reason... ;-)

I'll have to ask, why is X server on Windows a beast?

As if that was too hard! Search for Xming. Or use Cygwin/X... but I'd use
Xming unless I already have Cygwin stuff installed.

Yeah. I did too, for a while, until I figured out how to make X run. You
thought X was slow over a slow network? Try VNC.
