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... -- Kevin O'Gorman, PhD
