Hi All

You may be interested in Xen, its a new ish 'paravirtualisation' system 
to run virtual copies of Operating Systems, ie Linux and others.

Really its quite like VMware but its Open Source, close to native speed, 
and developed at Cambridge University !

Probably not the easiset to set up and use, but there is a live cd to 
try if anyone is interested.

If anyone has used, experimented with this and would like to do a demo 
at a meeeting sometime I would be very interested to see it in action !!

Regards

Julian
