I don't see what the problem is when VMware Player is free as in beer and backed by EMC! And if you don't want the overhead of VMware then use OpenVZ. At least OpenVZ/Virtuozzo is also a known quantity (although not as known as VMware). _ Philippine

Hi Junji, I urge you take a look at VMware converter (http://www.vmware.com/products/converter/) if you intend to use VMware server. There is a free starter edition that allows you to "convert" one job at a time. You can convert a physically running machine into a vmware virtual machine and load

If using VMWare Server, you can use harddisk imaging software like Ghost or Ghost4Linux to create an image. You can then 'restore' them back in a VM. This works for N, but not for WIn2K or Win2K3 servers. --- mike t. Jun Salen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Hi All, I want to upgrade our curren
