Anyone tried Xen for something like this?
I had a CRM package that required a wierd set of Legacy versions of
database, php, etc. Used Xen to build a virtual server, and ran it

But why demo only? The VWWare platform seems stable, if one can get

The technical answer is simply that When GT.M executes a commit to disk

For clarification...
Now, with VMWare specifically, there may be a setting to perform a
commit to the actual disk when there is a commit in the virtual
machine, but I am not sure about this.
VMware Workstation v5.5 has an option under the 'Hard Disk' settings
called 'Persistent' - this will

couldn't boot Suse linux, but then I realized that the DVD I had was the

For demo / development purposes it's really not worth messing with
VMWare, Virtual Server, Parallels, etc. One of the options for Damn
Thanks Bhaskar,

Well, I decided to download VMWare Player, and got debian (sarge) to
run to a command prompt on my windows desktop. I would like to see
if I could get KDE up and running. I don't know if this comes with
