John, I got this running- and it's great! VMWare is a revelation. What you just mentioned about Oracle really has me thinking. Anyway, thanks for a great product!
I'm having a couple of problems, though. I don't know how to connect to the net with the VM. It's running on a Win2K laptop, which is connected to a cable modem via ethernet and DHCP. eth0 fails while Linux boots, probably since it's already being used by Windows. Is there a way I can get the Redhat VM to connect, preferably through the Windows connection? Can I access the Linux server with my Windows browser?
I never did get BitTorrent to work- Adelphia may very well have it blocked, especially here around VTech.
