[lug] LUG Digest, Vol 123, Issue 2

[Ryan Newby]

 "Install VMs for Linux / XP in new Win 7 systems"
--You will get much better performance using a *NIX OS to host your VMs, as
Windows 7 is going to use about 2GB of memory off of the top, cutting out
resources for your VMs.
  It may be worth looking at Citrix XenServer. There is a Free Open Source
version available and fairly easy to install and configure.

"Network 2/3 desktops to each other via Cat5 and to 2 laptops via
Wifi (and Cat5)."
-- If your network gear supports it, why not go Gigabit (Cat5e ot Cat6)

"Mostly user/password problems preventing networking now)"
You could set up a domain controller to centralized accounts, will cause
less headaches.
