[sllug-members]: VMWare machines on Linux

[Cade Call]

I have a server setup for one of my clients that is running VMWare  
Server on Fedora Core 5. The specs on the machine are low, a dual  
pentium III 600, 1GB RAM, 1 18GB SCSI Hard Drive. It runs one  
instance of Windows 2000 Server that is acting as a Terminal Server  
for 10 thin clients (512MB RAM Allocated) and one instance of FreeBSD  
acting as a email gateway (128MB RAM Allocated). The performance is  
quite good on considering the modest hardware.
