This tutorial provides step-by-step instructions on how to install the free VMware Server (version 1.0) on Ubuntu 6.06 LTS (Dapper Drake). VMware has just released version 1.0 of its free VMware Server. With VMware Server you can create and run guest operating systems ("virtual machines") such as Linux, Windows, FreeBSD, etc. under a host operating system. This has the benefit that you can run multiple operating systems on the same hardware which saves a lot of money, and you can move virtual machines from one VMware Server to the next one (or to a system that has the VMware Player which is also free). In this article we use Ubuntu 6.06 LTS (Dapper Drake) as the host operating system.

WARNING: VMWare is not free software

Check out Xen instead.

some good freeware to document your IT infrastructure

I just started using this good free software that lets you document your entire IT infrastructure. It's called Auditor Lite or Documentor and in my opinion it's the best software out there and the fact that it is free is even better. Just thought I would let you guys know if you want to give it a shot it's working out great for us.

Does it require us to switch to ms windoze to run it? We're a linux shop, you know...
Looks like it. Too bad.
Also known as 'spam spam spam spam'...

Nothing FOSS at that link.

Yeah, and I think this is their second time on LXer. Oh well, I'm sure Dante would have had a special circle reserved for such if he'd only known.
yeah, Don or Dave needs to ban itguy321.
