I like to build my own 'stations' on 19" steel rackmount modules, into cubic steel cabinets, with metal removable racks, plus a modified air cooling system, based on the Alpha micro-forged heatsinks...

VMWare should work on /usr/compat/linux, it is told in 'The Complete Reference FreeBSD' by Roderick W. Smith, 'Mc Graw Hill Osborne' editions. I'll try. As always roadrunner .VWV.
