The fantastic world of virtual machines can run more than one operating system on the same PC, so in my laptop with Windows Vista I have installed VMWare Workstation 6. there I have a Red Hat Enterprise AS Linux 4, also a Windows Server 2003, Windows XP, and CentOS 5 AS with Asterisk.
course I have them all running simultaneously, usually always running two virtual machines than the host operating system (Windows Vista).
As one of the many advantages of virtual machines is its portability, meaning that I can move them from my laptop to another PC or server at any time. To which I always recommend compressing with WinRAR and then move them. Additionally it is recommended
while working with a virtual machine before doing a major installation on it, create a Snapshot. This returns you to the point original in case something went wrong.
You can use the virtual network cards such as bridge host operating system, meaning that it is possible to have an IP address within the same network and with the same gateway. So that each machine will be networked with each other and have Internet if necessary.
is also possible if necessary, install VMWare Server, which can say it is a unix based operating system, which is used to physically separate server resources with outstanding characteristics.
Anyway, these are just some features of this fantastic world called "virtualization" ... any additional significant advantage is welcome!
