I use it everywhere, the snapshots make repeatable testing a breeze, and I virtualise my mail and web servers at home. Completely reliable, unlike one of my cow-orkers on Vista ( although that could be him! ). To get vmware server 1.0.6 running on ubuntu hh, you also need to patch it using vmware-any-any-update117a.tgz ( or maybe greater, but I last installed on this PC only a month or so ago ). I just downloaded the tar file from vmware.com and followed the instructions ( ./vmware_installer.pl iirc ). You need linux headers installing first. Installation will generate all the support you need for the 3 networking options vmware offers, and by default the webby stuff hangs off port 902. You will need to recompile modules when your kernel is upgraded, but that's not really the end of the world! Drop me a line if you're still stuck... Steve
