I, personally thought that installing VMware Server was a bit of a pain,
but after that everything is really cool - except I can't seem to find a
way to reuse an XP partition in a virtual XP machine.

I need Windows because I have to work via a VPN, and there is no VPN
client available for Linux (or at least they're not telling us the
settings we need.  :-(   Works fine from a W2K client under Linux,
though.
