The ability to quickly go through series of hands/reboots without any associated fsck runs and without the risk of terminally damaging any local FS is priceless. If qemu can be tricked into disk-less booting, it should be just as good though. --=20 Alexander Kabaev --Sig_ColPRB3L16HY_VKOE7RD8Wh Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=signature.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFFcjFyQ6z1jMm+XZYRAmgNAJ9RllE/S6RMevV4UhkHIoYiUc2PbQCfdwcU A5TU8c/eEQyHqASv6PM12Kw= =1Rvd -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_ColPRB3L16HY_VKOE7RD8Wh--
