He first worked with virtualization with IBM's VM370 in the mid-1970s. As a computer programmer and not a system administrator, his interest in virtualization stems primarily in using it as a tool to either be able to run applications that could not otherwise run on native Linux or to run several different versions of Linux. Jerry will explain how to run virtualization on your desktop and laptop systems. You should attend this presentation if: * You want to run Windows and want to try Linux, but don't want to set up dual booting. * You run Linux, but need to run Windows for some specific applications that won't run on Linux (and Linux with WINE). * You have Windows Vista, but some applications don't run properly, so you want to install Windows XP in a Virtual Machine Jerry will also discuss some of the networking features available with virtualization including assigning different IP addresses to each virtual machine even while sharing a single physical network interface (NIC). * Please join us on Tuesday, May 5th at 6:30PM where we will be Meeting at Microsoft's Waltham Offices, 201 Jones Road, Waltham, Mass.
