re: VMWare Player: 

FYI - there's a nice site that can create vmx's for you.  This lets you 
get around player's restriction of not creating vmx's, and so makes it a 
workable solution again.

That said, vmware's proprietary restrictions have been annoying me 
lately, and so I've just been using virtualbox more and more lately.
