I've been using VMware Player quite a bit recently, on WinXP. Dare I say 
(dons flame-retardant) that it makes using Windows palatable? There's 
quite a few images - I currently have Debian, 2x *BSDs, Ubuntu, Kubuntu, 
(and the VMWare Browser Appliance based on Ubuntu), KDE on Suse.

Now I just have to find a way to share data between all these images. Is 
such a thing possible?
