i have used vmvare and i wont recommend it to anyone unless they have very special reasons to do so. To run it properly with 3 OSes, you need damn good hardware but in the same price you can put 2-3 low end mahcines with diff OS on each ;-)
regarding booting from diskless staions, never done anything like that. btw, can anyone explain why people still wish to use diskless workstations? and novell is still popular in some parts of the world. may there's some catch that i am missing.
