But perhaps it is a solution for Gerhard ? Sorry, I should have been more precise in my original posting. I already have used VMware and wondered if there was a VServer-like (only execution environment, not full-blown hardware emulation) alternative on Windows. Regards Gerhard Colinux, http://colinux.sourceforge.net/ allows you to run linux guest operating systems right in windows. It's basically a kernel patch to the Linux kernel that allows it to run as a windows process. It works really well if you don't need to be in a virtualized hardware environment. Like VMware it allocates disk space and RAM so it's not as lightweight as Linux Vserver but it's a lot more resource friendly (IMHO) than VMWare. -- Matthew Nuzum [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.followers.net - Makers of Elite Content Management System View samples of Elite CMS in action by visiting http://www.followers.net/portfolio/ ___ Vserver mailing list Vserver@list.linux-vserver.org http://list.linux-vserver.org/mailman/listinfo/vserver
