Yea, that would be a good way to describe it. I develop network applications that run on different OS. At one time I might be running a server on Centos, Active Directory on WS2k3, and a client on XP. The AD machine I would just bring up and run in the background unless I need to make some user property changes, same with the server. Now, I just wish I could find an AIX/PowerPC and Solaris/SPARC VM system. --- Wayne Johnson, | There are two kinds of people: Those 3943 Penn Ave. N. | who say to God, "Thy will be done," Minneapolis, MN 55412-1908 | and those to whom God says, "All right, (612) 522-7003 | then, have it your way." --C.S.
