Oh, and I've been running vmware-server because that's what I was teaching with
at school. Now the school has gone to VirtualBox because it appears
not to have
the update hassles of VMware. I'll probably do the same, but I have
to recover a bunch
of data from this VMware VM first.
Server was also nice because I could create new VMs with it, which Workstation
would not do. VirtualBox will do that too, it seems.
I think I'll try that Workstation tarball...
