Yes, you are correct about how this works. The only "gotcha" is that the hardware will not look the same to the virtualized installations. The virtualization software provides a "virtual processor" and "virtual RAM" and "virtual network interface" and every other piece of hardware you might have. It has no concept of power management hardware. So, you can test things out from a software compatibility perspective, but not so much for hardware. This means you'll about double your overall testing time. -wes _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
