JAWing On – Life on Okinawa

Finally a morning where a person can actually see some sunrays. It’s fitting that this morning should be just one of those “special” ones. My project this week was to see if I could get a virtual machine to work on the computer. After several false starts, I was finally able to get this one to work. I am actually posting to this blog from a VMware Virtual Machine Server. Given that I am a newbie at all of this, that’s a pretty big feat for me. The best way I can explain of what having a virtual machine on my desktop is, it’s like a software program that acts as a CPU in which you place an chosen operating system (in other words, it’s like having a computer on your computer desktop). Each machine, you can have more than one, acts independently of the other. It’s all rather fascinating from my point of view. I’ll keep you informed of things I learn as I go along.

I was able to get a virtual machine properly working yesterday. It wasn’t a Linux version, but Windows. (The Linux version seemed to have a grub problem. I still have some work to get that straight.) Anyway, it is rather amazing knowing that I am working on something that is, but isn’t, there.
