VMware Workstation is our friend... :) Both developers and sysadmins here use it frequently for testing and development purposes. Especially handy is the undoable/persistent disk feature, where writes are logged to a secondary file. Great way to start-over fresh without having to reinstall your operating system. The Linux Journal recently ran an series of articles covering VMware GSX Server - also interesting, but at $3500 US, a bit more costly. :) -- Micheal Kelly System Administrator +1 (613) 592-2122 x2519 [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.e-smith.com -- Please report bugs to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] (only) to discuss security issues Support for registered customers and partners to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives by mail and http://www.mail-archive.com/devinfo%40lists.e-smith.org
