It looks like I'm going to be thrown to the wolves (again!) and get to play with alot of VMware stuff, alot meaning pretty anything VMware have to offer next quarter.
Can anyone suggest some reading & hands on projects so the other kids won't laugh at me?

Thanks.

VMware has a trial download along with documentation. The rest is up to your imagination.
 
LOL 86
What does the number signify in your case?

I suppose I should have posted more info, here goes:

Corperate IS are planning on setting up a VMware lab , initally to see how much use they can make of it for their infastructue.
My boss feels, and I think he is right, that we should be able to apply some of the VMware tech to the systems under our control and outside of IS's and reduce a number of headaches - damn end users!

As for what OS on what OS, please bear in mind I working in the dark here, but for a number of systems I'd like to see linux boot from a USB flash memory drive and pull Win2k over. But for several reasons that maybe 2 years out - thoes systems are part of a big pie of which we're only one group at the table.

Other systems are more like restricted access desktop PCs, in this case again linux would boot up and get it on the network and pull down something from the beast.

Our setup is weird and fragmented, so this might make it a bit simpiler.

On the down side this means a lot of new work for me, but this is also a plus as I've been getting pretty bored recently. On the big plus side getting training and software will not be a problem, because this is a Corp IS project so it will be pretty much all out of their budget - which is much bigger then my departments.

So has anyone played with this in a client-server setup?


SJConsultant, as soon as I can snag some free hardware I'll be doing that, new toys new toys, I need more PCs!!!

Heh, you can't post 3 character posts so this sentence is to meet the required 4 characters, which is all it would have take me to make my point, but no I am forced to type extra characters, so I will type this incredibly, long, useless, run-on sentence.
 
Ranma_Sao,
The Win2k enviroment will be a heavily controlled enviroment, not locked down, just controlled. We do alot of strange things.
As for why I'm using Linux as the base, resources, Win2K on top of Win2K I assume will hog a lot of resources.
