i'm running it on two machines. one works great.
the other seems to have decided to send clock
interrupts arbitrarily fast. also the nat's dns stopped
working a week or two ago (vmware 3.2) so i upgraded
to 4 and it still didn't work. not sure how i managed that.

i disagree with this. in windows at least, full screen mode lets
you forget you've even got another operating system.
(in linux, full screen mode doesn't give a hardware mouse, so it
doesn't work so well.)
