[mesa-users] Failure problem with mtx continues for my mesa#3918

[Richard Townsend]

Setting up a standardized virtual machine is certainly one solution. However, there is a *severe* performance penalty for running code in a virtual machine --- so much so that I imagine many users will not want to do this.

cheers,

Rich

I got exposed to the convenience of linux virtual box technology from the CLAWPACK virtual machine created by Randall Leveq of the Applied Math Dept of the University of Washington. He uses it for his class but also allows free download by others. The entire machine can be installed under Windows (as I did) but also under another linux system or Mac Os using the appropriate Virtual Box software freely downloadable from Oracle.
