Has anyone tried something like this before? QEMU will be running on a

the GUI, but if anyone has a better idea I'd love to hear it.
You could also run VNC or RDP on the Windows server guest installation.
Doesn't give you remote access to the early boot sequence but has
slightly less overhead.
Yep, I was thinking about running RDP in the guest for day-to-day stuff
(we do that now for our real Win2k server. The QEMU GUI has to go
somewhere though, and short of installing the VNC patch, the easiest
option looks like running a virtual X server like the VNC one. QEMU can
connect to that and the display goes nowhere, until of course someone
connects via VNC.
I've started on this, with a Win2k server install and SQL 7 running on
my desktop seemingly quite well. After some more testing (loading up
some databases, testing apps running under Linux connecting to it
through the virtual NIC) I'll start looking at running it on our test
SMP server with the VNC X server. If people are curious, I'll be happy
to let you all know how it goes.
Thanks
Leigh
