Computer setup and first info

In this exact time I’m trying to complete the setup of the virtual machine I need to work.

Since ctypes runs on Windows, MacOS X, Linux, Solaris and FreeBSD I’m gonna do my best to test it on all this platforms.

I have a dual boot machine with Linux and WinXP but to work dualboot is not feasible so today I’m installing Win2K Pro SP4 and FreeBSD 6.1 on VMWare. Next will be Solaris. The only real problem is the Apple’s operating system because I’m not a mac owner nor user (never use it to be honest), so I think I’ll need to find a way to test on it anyway.

I’ve already started developing and testing my first module: the time module. time.time() and time.sleep() are quite finished. I have to test them thoroughly on the other platforms.

That’s it.

    You can run MacOS X in VMWare without too many problems.

    The OSX86 project wiki is a good place to check for help getting things like networking and sound to work: http://wiki.osx86project.org/.
