Hi Doug, thanks for the pointer.
Generally virtualization runs into difficulties with the network ..
both wireless and wired, and with peripherals (printers etc).
Any difficulties in that world?
Actually, on of the more interesting virtualization stunts is Amazon
EC2 and similar "cloud" computing stunts. Just pour any OS into a
container and the sophisticated server back ends manage to run them
just fine. Way cool!
