I have no aversion to the CLI. I spend half my time in there and I'm quite fond of it for some things. I often type vim keybindings into GUI apps without thinking :) Some admin is fine, but to a large degree I'd want it to 'just work' with minimal intervention. I suppose I'm looking for something that's 'easy to manage' but not necessarily 'dumb' :) > But if you want something nicer, use VMWare Server (free but not Free). I have used VMware server a fair bit, and in fact I upgraded to version 2 today and was quite impressed. I would prefer something FOSS, though. Virtualbox has always struck me as a desktop solution, although I haven't used it much so I might be wrong. It is easy to manage remotely? Can I bring up VM GUIs over the network? -- Bring choice back to your computer. http://www.linux.org.au/linux -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
