I won't hijack Mark's thread but it is timely - I've been testing out
a new tool that is similar to VMWare but is open source.  It's called
VirtualBox.

http://www.virtualbox.org/

I installed it and then installed XP in it (I'm running FC5 on the
laptop since that's what we're teaching)... I have to say that I'm
impressed.  Compared to all of my previous excursions with virtual
machines, this thing flies.

To the point that I'm putting off the attempt to get Outlook 2k3
working via wine (need it for the Exchange server) and am just going
to use the virtual machine.
