Linux openSuse guest os running both on Linux and Windows XP

Post by omri »

Hello

I have searched for a while about what I want to do with no success...

I have a Ubuntu server 7.10 64-bit, and I want to create a OpenSuse 32-bit guest OS on my server.
I wanted to know if it is possible, that the created virutal machine will run successfully (without any changes) on any regular Windows XP 32-bit machine ?

thanks in advance

This is possible. There is currently no difference if you run it on different Hosts. You do need the same settings. Though I run both 32 bit Hosts, I have my VMs running in XUbuntu 8.04 and Windows XP SP3.

I have ported virtual machine between a AMD/Vista machine to a Intel/Linux machine. I never encountered any problems.
