Right now I cannot give you pros and cons about specific solutions (I am sure someone else will), but I would advice that you keep using raw hard drive format. I.e. one where the layout of virtual drive is like what you would get by doing "cat </dev/harddr >someemulateddrive". This makes it easier when you decide to try another virtualisation / hypervisor. Or maybe even switch between back and forth (but, of course, not run two different hypervisors at the same time, on same machine - last time I checked such a stunt was not possible). -- Regards, Tomasz Rola -- ** A C programmer asked whether computer had Buddha's nature. ** ** As the answer, master did "rm -rif" on the programmer's home ** ** directory.
