I brought home 4 of the donated servers to Dban. Turns out one of
them (the 2U server) is an AMD Athalon 1.4G w/ 1g ram and 18g HD!
If it will please you & Tom I'll just hong onto it for the OS
Virtualization learning / testing....
The other servers were:
P3-500 256mb, 2x9g atlas 10k drives
P2-450, 6g hd
P2-350, 4g hd
If I move the 2 Atlas 10K drives into the U2 server, that would give
a total of 36g to build / use virtual images with.
Ideas, thoughts, etc.

/If everyone agrees I can start move everything around and have
Debian install (possible w/ xen already if time permits) and have it
at the lab Tuesday...

:: Virtualize Lab Server
Mike reports that the Xeon CPUs in our server are equipped with
Intel's hardware virtualization layer. However, we would need to
run modified kernels to to take advantage of hardware
virtualization. This is acceptable on Linux because modified
kernels are readily available. But, no such luck with Windows.
Actually this is backward. The kernals do not need to be modified
with hardware virtualization and Windows or any OS could
theoretically run on top of Xen. It may be easier to run with
software virtualization however as the hardware virtualization
support in Xen is fairly new and not as well documented.
We chose to to pursue Xen virtualization software. We will find
two high end PCs from our inventory and load them with as much RAM
as we can muster. Mike and Goose are interested in experimenting with Xen.
