Christian, I have multiple servers. I only need one low powered windows once to tunnel to. Then I can have multiple tunnels from linux. NX Server is also a nice option for people without multiple servers. For the time being I'll be making use of all my resources so that I don;t have to relie on a third party.<br>
<br>Terje, just because its complicated doesn't make it unnecessary. :-) For me its as much about learning new things and different ways of getting things working. Today I've already learned new stuff from this list.<br>
<br>Jeremy, thanks for the info on ESXi. Didn't know about that one previously. Something else to add to my to-test list for the future ;-)<br><br>Be interesting to see how the performance is between wine and vmware as mentioned by Morpheus. My test environment is linux, vmware2, linux, then wine so I'll be interested to see how the performance is on LAN. I'm not planning on putting that solution live as such. I guess that setup doesn't really count towards the benchmark ;-)<br>

Guys,<br>
<br>
I can't for the life of me figure out why you're doing this so complicated. The use of a X system with a lightweight window manager such as fluxbox or Xfce draws negliglable system resources on any hardware worth the electricity it runs on. Save yourself a lot of hassle and just run the server in wine 1.8.x, I'm telling you it works just fine as a temporary solution until Linux binaries are released, even if we have to wait for cod6 next fall.<br>

This is not going to work.<br>
If you tunnel X11 to your local machine, you need to have it running all the<br>
time.<br>
As soon as you close the SSH session, all X11 applications will die.<br>
Thats why you need to run it all from the server, preferable from some kind<br>
of Windowmanger.<br>
VNC should be sufficent for this.<br>
Or use the method I expplained a little while ago by using NX server.<br>

<br>
Yes, I've seen it, and ESX is not affordable for the minimal use it will<br>
run. Can anyone that has vmware installed try a comparison vmware vs<br>
wine ? I already have some servers running on the box, and resources<br>
need to be balanced between all of this...<br>
<br>
By the way I will try to run just a x server through ssh, what will be a<br>
completely new challenge to me (CLI power for years now).<br>

Pretty sure vmware 2.0 is the only free one. ESX server is what you<br>
have to pay for. vmware server 2.0 is what was formally GSX server. It<br>
sits ontop of an existing OS vs ESX which is a native vmware OS.<br>
<br>
I've no luck at all via the CLI so I think the next best thing bearing<br>
in mind I want to keep resource to a minimum and not run a GUI is to<br>
use X display through SSH. I've never done that before but I'm<br>
attempting it now, documenting the process and as soon as I get it<br>
working I'll provide the full instructions.<br>

The latest VMware server is 2.0<br>

The one you are talking about is ESX/ESXi<br>

I installed a minimal version of Windows XP on my Vmware machine,<br>
took a few minutes...<br>
<br>
When the COD5 Linux version is released I will shutdown the<br>
Windows version right away! ;-)<br>
For the time being this is a good alternative.<br>
<br>
I didn't try Vmware version 3.0 because version 2.0 works<br>
perfectly for me.<br>

Yes, but it's not the most difficult to do, don't you think ? ^^<br>

Don't it requires a windows install in the virtual machine ?<br>
