Thanks for the clarification Joe. However, I am specifically considering the size of the virtual hard disk in this exercise. And a few different hosting platforms. I am not focusing on the performance of the VM itself - a bit different angle. (You will all be putting the pieces together soon enough ;-) ) However, if you care to share your experience - I can always add configurations to my matrix for other uses. I am always trying to find legitimate and 'real world' configuration examples to ground things. ************************************************ For Archives, RSS, to Unsubscribe, Subscribe or set Digest or Vacation mode use the below link: //www.freelists.org/list/thin NEW!
