Hi to all.  I have been toying with an idea, and I would like to know if anyone has actually done this.  I would like to set up a virtual learning network.  Specifically, by use of a virtual machine system such as VMWare, I would like to be able to set up various types of machines such as workstations, Samba servers, domain controllers, and maybe even a 2-to-4 node Beowulf cluster.  If I want to add machines to a domain, I just replicate an image, load the machine and add it.  I could replicate a baseline server, install Apache and plug it into the “network”.  The point is simply to be able to study the different systems and their interconnection in a not-quite-live environment.  Naturally, this would require a fairly competent workstation, but I think mine might be sufficient.

 

Has any ever done something like this?  I would appreciate any comments regarding feasibility and how much such a system could be made to resemble the real world.  Thanks

 

Andrew Hunter
