I would gladly recommend everyone to give virtualization a go.
Having a VM is handy when you want to test different OSes or
create "clean room" development or demo environments.


   Yup, I'll second this. Somebody also needs to tell Elcot to drop
their IBM mainframe purchase for running Linux/S390 in VMs and
go with x86 server clusters running Linux/x86 guests in VMware
instead. They can even benchmark and test this inexpensively
with free licenses - a Dell SC430 dual-core at Rs.18k should be
enough to get started on the HW side.
