But I figure 1024MB should suffice especially since I'm trying to use Gentoo. So, I figure 1024MB is ok but I could assign it 3000MB. Subtract this amount from the total available amount of RAM that the host computer has and the total VM RAM amount should not exceed the remainder. As for the RAM, the book instructs that the host computer should have 2GB. So, my computer has four processors and cores so allocating one to the VM seems correct. ^ Why these amounts? The VMWare book I'm using instructs not to allocate more processors and cores than the host machine has. I assigned the VM 1 processor and 1 core per processor with 1024MB of RAM. While and get some kind of volunteer/paid job too. I want to understand what I’m doing and why things work so I can better utilize my computer and time better. Re the last paragraph, I just want to understand as much as I can and not get too confused because there are so many terms, concepts, etc.
Fedora 24 very slow vmware workstation windows 10#
My computer is Windows 10 Pro so that is not me either. Is my understanding correct?Īlso, you said a “Linux hypervisor” meaning that I would be using the VMWare Workstation on a Linux computer. This would be in a group/business environment or if there is more than one person involved in running VMs. It is basically something that I would use if I were supervising multiple VMs being used by multiple users. I had to look up the meaning of hypervisor. Please let me know if I missed anything important. I think I should list my computer specs now. I have selected “Linux” with the version being “Fedora 64-bit”. When you feel your problem has been solved please add to the topic title. Don't be afraid to try things and be sure to keep notes so you know where you have been and what worked Odds are you won't get everything exactly right first try but VMs are an easy way to try without the annoyance of having to keep rebooting back and forth to test things. Gentoo is normally linux based, and if you follow the standard handbook you will end up with an up to date linux kernel with the gentoo patchset applied. The one exception to that is that if you are using a linux hypervisor I suggest you use "virtio" hardware in the guest wherever possible and enable to appropriate options in the guest kernel, if your hypervisor is windows then just use the defaults. VMware is asking because it has various collections of default settings baked in and tries to appropriately select one for you, so just pick some kind of generic linux like the latest redhat or fedora, and the details likely won't matter too much, you can always adjust the settings later. So, I'm not sure how I should proceed here. The Gentoo Handbook says that Gentoo is a Linux OR FreeBSD based operating system. I also tried clicking "Other" but Gentoo isn't there either. My first question is which operating system do I select in the "Select a Guest Operating System" option for the configuring VMWare Workstation wizard? It lists Linux and then I have to choose a Version but Gentoo isn't listed anywhere. I will use the Gentoo handbook for the Gentoo install. I have a book called "VMWare Workstation - No Experience Necessary" that will hopefully teach me the VMWare part. I hope it's ok for me to post my questions here as they come up. I am a beginner with computers and am attempting to get Gentoo working on VMWare Workstation.
