Hi Ed, I'm testing OpenVZ/vserver/VMware/Kvm/qemu respectively on their own PC. This thread attracts my interest. I'm considering building a quadcore PC with 8G RAM to test this idea running several VMs on same PC.

If I understand your advice correct I can install vserver on the guest running on KVM/VMware image? A virtual machine on another virtual machine? > On the other > hand there is no way to run Windows under a vserver image since it's > really just a fancy chroot system (plus some other features) I can't install Windows on OpenVZ. I have no idea whether it works on vserver. On installing Vista Ultimate on KVM I encountered some problem. I can't start it on next boot without putting its installer on CDRom. Otherwise it will be dropped to rescue mode. I read a document on Internet suggesting installing XP first, stopping after partitioning and continue installing Vista Ultimate. I'll test this suggestion later when I have time. Others noted with thanks B.R. Stephen Send instant messages to your online friends http://uk.messenger.yahoo.com
