Did anyone try to install MT on VMWare?
How does it work? any suggestions?
For test purposes, I've installed 2.9.17 on bridged NIC on VM 5.5
First conslusion: whenever I try to ping any www page, it gets
enormous respond time, e.g. >500ms.
What went wrong?

I've tested it on the following configuration:Don't know whats wrong with your setup, weak computer perhaps?
MT works on VMWare just fine, even if it is of somewhat limited practical usefulness. But, for experimentation, it is nice to be able to quickly fire up a dozen level 0 MTs on a single box, and try crazy things out.

Intel Sonoma 1.6GHz, 512Mb of ram.
For the practising purpose, I assigned 160Mbs of ram and 1gb of disk space.
VMware runs on the newest version - 5.51.

That should be plenty of computer, guess I am at a loss. At home I will run 5 or so on an old Duron system, without seeing problems like that.
And yes, I generally agree that a router should be a dedicated box. But, for experimentation it's great. I think it's also useful as a router/firewall for other VMs running on the box. For things such as setting up an anycast server, it would be great. A single box could do it, without requiring the "server VM" to speak a routing protocol.
Personally, I look forward to being able to do it with Xen, rather than VMWare. But, I don't have any of those new processors to try it on, yet.
