I am in the process of consolidating my test environment at work, and I think I am going to give this a try. Slackware is always my default, so this should work well. I am happy to see 2008r2 works. A couple of my test boxes need that and other flavors of M$, and the rest are mainly Slack boxes. All my test boxes are running on VMware workstation, or a pile/stack of old desktops turned server. Not ideal, and I need to stop the insanity. The timing of this thread is amazing. I just finished ordering a bunch of parts to refresh a recently unemployed HP server over here just for this purpose. I was going to give VMware vSphere 5 a try, but this looks like it more up my alley. Thanks! Bob
