[Cialug] Virtualization

[Nathan C. Smith]

It would be overkill for your application, but VMWare ESX server would do
that easily.

Workstation can handle it too though.  I've been a VMWare user/tester since
their first beta of workstation and think it a product well worth paying
for.

The only constraint in your instance will be RAM you will want a lot of it.
I don't know what chip you are using but on my AMD64 3-4 VM machines + host
seems to be about the limit for my 2GB RAM.  I'm running an older
workstation patched to work with AMD64 though.  You may have much better
results on a newer version.

Is anyone doing any virtualization? It would be really handy for me if I
could run RHEL 3, RHEL 4 and windows XP all on the same box, and "toggle" in
between running systems. (it would also give me an excuse to finally buy
that monster AMD 64 machine with a 24in LCD display)

What software are you using to do the virtualization? How does it work for
you?
