+1 for VirtualBox use, good stuff! When I need a DB server, which is rare these days, but it happens, I use a VM based on JeOS ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_JeOS ) and have Oracle or whatever running in it. Its a super small footprint and I don't have to add a bunch to my system drive. I usually run these on a FW drive or even flash memory. Having a 128GB SSD is pure awesomeness, except in the size and space department, kind of like Dio :) ( kudos to A Powell for adding that crack to my vocabulary! )
