Disagree with me and DIE!!!! Kill!! Die!! Er, sorry, wrong list :-) I
did that for a long time and it was better than VMWare. However, I had
to give the work laptop back when I changed jobs and had to minimize the
number of computers overall when I moved (noise considerations, mainly).
Still if you have more computers than you know what to do with a KVM is
a heck of a lot nicer than multi-booting or virtualizing hardware any
day. But if you only carry the one laptop and need to use tools in
multiple OSs, VMWare can't be beat.

I'm silver, but I just download the ISOs and it ain't on there.
Theoretically I might could find it in the commercial apps section, but
I haven't had a need to go looking.
