It also sits on top of linux so there are no other partitoins to contend with or anything. The installation was automatic on RH and Suse (Debian is supported but it might be a little more work). Basically you have to build a small kernel patch and module. I run office 2000 and Dreamweaver on it wihtout any problem. It also comes in handy for those "broken" websites. I gave the 30 day test drive a whirl and had blown away my windows partition before it had expired. One potential problem for a production envireonment, it doesn't speak the microsoft networking language, so you can't use it for SMB mounts. You can however use linux to mount the windows (or hopefully samba) shares into a directory that Windows can see. Another neat feature I found useful is that I can give the VM access to the parallel port and talk to things directly, whether configured in Linux or not. Charlie
