Oh on that note I should probably add that horse is now back up and working.
I messed about with vmware server 1.06 and 1.07 for a while but they
didn't want to play nice with the latest kernels.
So I had a look into xen which started off nicely. However that path
came to a crashing halt when Xen required grub to boot (I've run lilo
since forever) and then grub would not install with an XFS root filesystem.
Grump! I then tried the new vmware server 2.0 I gave the 2.0 beta a go
last year and discovered it was utter dreck then. Its much improved
now, and actually works fine.
So horse is up and trotting as usual.
For those who have limited access, there's a http shell available at
https://shell.clug.org.nz/
Its terrible but does work acceptably.

It's a shell archive. Say:-
sh sawtell_C.shar
to open it.
It's not complete, but about 3,500 people have thanked me for it, so
it can't be too bad.
