Well, I believe (I never used UML, though) you can install Linux (not using UML) into another set of partitions, and then use those partitions for your UML instance. Am I mistaken in my understanding of UML? > P.S. > Any news on free alternatives to VMWare? Boches is so slow it > hurts, and > plex86 never left the ground, as far as I know. Not that I know of. I work for a mostly-M$ shop, which happens to have an MSDN site license, and so Connectix is free to me (funny how M$'s M&As can work for you...). A small (~1-man) shop can purchase such a license, just for the MSDN Library, for $2K or so, and use any M$ product for a few years before M$ requires an audit. During that time period, it's perfectly legal to install a million instances of Connectix or Office or whatever. When the scheduled audit arrives, you can choose if you want to continue using those products (and upgrade the license, which will cost much more...), or just uninstall all to-be-illegal software.
