Virtual Machines - Operating Systems
 

Just finished reading Amazon Ghost for the second time.

Loaded VMWare and am working on setting up my first virtual machine.

What is the most cost efficient way for me to load an OS to the virtual machine?

XP or 7 preferably.

Thanks!

I went out and bought a copy of Windows 7 when I started the VMWare game.
I also downloaded Ubuntu Linux and run it every once in a while.

HWGA - do you prefer vm ware workstation 7 or vmware player?

Piratebay would be the most cost efficeint, I just got through loading 10 o/s's on my harddrive, got em all free.

yeah that wht i do... but i use win xp pro usually.

it was going allright o vm ware workstation but for some reason on vmware player not so good.

That's what I still use xp pro, haven't used vmware yet, I shrunk my C drive down to 2000 MG made 10 partitions, still have room for about 9 more and this is on a $70 p3 laptop.

niceee. vm ware gives you virtual nics.

I don't use ethernet or cable just my blackberry I don't think usb modems are as tracable, I've got my copy of smac if I need it.

i dont think u read it very good. Ubuntu linux would make you unique as not everyone uses it. The best way to blend in is windows xp or vista.

we dont want fingerprints.

Like I said I run it every once in a while.
I am very much aware how the Amazon game is played......

Boom to that...so glad the lawsuit never slowed them down!

Thanks be to heaven! the everything is free place!

sorry. i a bit confuse. vmware player is free or paid? i dont know which 1 i should download. got many vmware version. vm ware fusion, vm ware station, vmware view, vmware server... i so... @.@. but i guess its a vmware player..

It's free if you want on piratebay, vmfusion is for mac, I'd probably go with vm workstation just gotta make sure you've got enough ram probably at least 2gb.

i usually use vmware workstation 7 from Piratebay. and xp pro gtg

So you're using the same o/s, how do you go about changing it up? download different plug-ins, change time , screen resolution,which is what I do, or do you just keep it all the same since you've got a virtual nic?

so, using different os for different virtual machine would be good? because i only use 1 os i donwload form piratebay and use it to many virtual machine.

So if your using the same o/s without changing anything else for ea virtual machine, what is it that makes your browser fingerprint different from the rest? that would be almost like using diff windows users, you think maybe, maybe not, anybody?

Ok, so the question is, can you use the same o/s, same browser, screen resolution, plug-ins etc. on diff virtual machines without getting linked?

Personally.....
I run Windows 7 installed from the same DVD with the same license code.
... I delete a few fonts.

I run FireFox 90% of the time.
...New install

I run the same Screen Resolution 90% of the time.

New Virtual Machine every time
...VMWare Workstation 7.1 Registered

NEW MAC numbers every time by using SMAC.
New email (gmail) and new name address, phone, credit card.


I have not been linked to a old account in about 3-4 months.

Finally a real answer, just what I wanted to hear, now I can get down to business without wasting any time...

thanks dude. look like i need VM ware 7.1 after this. :D
