[Asterisk-Users] Again Asterisk and VMWare - it works now!

[Dan]

Roy,

Please do not give me such a solution.
I know how and where to buy or how to build a very cheap PC (I work in this
field).
I now that this is a cheaper option (to buy or build a new pc), but I don't
want another computer running 24/7 in my house.
It is so difficult to understand that?
I have a small flat with two rooms. I want to be able to sleep too in the
same house.
My wife for sure will not accept another one...

I feel that it can fully work on my config (allmost it does it now).

It is more challenging to make it work under those circumstances...;-)
Why to choose everytime the easiest solution available?
I want to do it for my ..soul...;-)

Best regards,
Dan
P.S. I have several PCs available for this, but.. I DON'T WANT TO USE THEM!
