If I understand your advice correctly, to run all servers, such as mail, web, etc. as guest. Then what shall I run on the host? Just leaving it as a workstation for admin? If I'm wrong please correct me. Thanks - snip - > > This is my problem.

Whether to have /home of the host in a separated partition so that the guests can share it?
