I am a huge proponent of virtual technology, as it allows resources to be moved and servers to be rebuilt at lightning speed and allows for quick recovery of environments. You have to have a feel for the environment and speed varies based on the virtual host software, such as ESX vs Workstation and the speed of the host. I have no production R:BASE virtual environments, but my development environment runs quite nicely under VM Workstation using 9.1.
You do need to spec out the horsepower on the host carefully though if you plan a virtual environment.

R:Base 9.1/64 or any other program we have has a problem with it. Full speed ahead, I would say. I’m not running VMWare on the local desktop or as a terminal server. Hans
