I have to use Visual Studio for school (alot).
I would like to run it on linux. It doesn't work wine of course. 
Should I use an emulation ?
What do you guys recommend I do?

Might as well run a VM.
But if you have another computer using VNC would probably work too. |

If you machine is new enough (<3 years), running in VM will be probably smoother than using a VNC.
Both Virtualbox and VMWare are pretty good.

I went to easyvmz and got a virtual machine installed and started. Had trouble with vmwareplayer so I tried virtualbox.
| Code: |
Failed to assign the machine to the session.

Whenever I would run the non binary package, it would freeze at starting a new session. Now what do I do?

I work as a tool-developer at a big mobile phone company, and at home I use Gentoo only on my mashines, but at work we use Windows.
When I have to use my home computer to work with or when I work at home, I use KVM.
KVM is VERY fast and stable, and working just like using a real computer to run Windows XP.
I use Visual Studio 2003 and Visual Studio 2008 without any problems (C++ in 2003, C# in 2008) in KVM and strongly recomend this VM becouse of the speed and becouse it is simple to use and setup. I use to update KVM from http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=180599 like once a month, and havn't had any problems yet. VERY stable VM (but I cant say this about VirtualBox or VmWare as I find them unstable to use, and VirtualBox kernel-modules often made my computer hard-freeze).
You find KVM here: http://kvm.qumranet.com/kvmwiki
When you have compiled it and installed it, load the modules by "modprobe kvm_amd" or "modprobe kvm_intel", depending on what CPU you use (or place the lines needed in
/etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6
To create a new virtual disc to use, just type:
# qemu-img create -f qcow vdisk.img 20G
(or some other value depending on the size you need).
To install a operatingsystem on your new disc, type:
# qemu-system-x86_64 -hda vdisk.img -no-acpi -localtime -usb -usbdevice tablet -cdrom Windows-disc.iso -boot d -m 512 -std-vga
When finished, run QEmu/Kvm like this:
# qemu-system-x86_64 -hda vdisk.img -no-acpi -m 512 -localtime -boot c -usb -usbdevice tablet -std-vga
or something simular.
More documentation could be found here:
http://kvm.qumranet.com/kvmwiki/HOWTO
http://fabrice.bellard.free.fr/qemu/user-doc.html (this is QEmu-documentation, and KVM uses a patched QEmu to work. Dont use the source from this site to compile QEmu, use the KVM-source instead).
edit:
Maby you have to make sure your CPU is supported, as I have Virtualization-support in my CPU, AMD64x2 6000. Maby you also should change my lines above to use less RAM, since I have 4gb RAM in my computer. 256 maby is a better value then 512 in your case depending on RAM-size. |
